Chapter 82
Lin Zhu chose the wood carvings of agarwood monkey picking peaches, and Guo Baozhu chose the boxwood birthday party for her niece. The big peaches held in her hand were shiny, and there were few edges and corners. She was afraid that the little girl would hurt her hands when she grabbed them and played with them. Then she chose the red sandalwood double lions for King Rui to play with hydrangea.
When the guy picked the gift and helped him pack it, Tang Tao followed outside the door and then said to Guo Zijing and the other two: "I met by chance today. The two girls helped me a lot. These two small gifts are just for me to give to the two girls. Please accept them with a smile." The words were said to the three, but their eyes were always on Lin Zhu.
The gift was chosen by two girls, and Guo Zijing couldn't make the decision directly, so he looked at his sister in an exploratory way.
Guo Baozhu refused without thinking too much: "The prince is kind, but this is the full moon gift I chose for my niece. It is more appropriate for me to buy it myself. Besides, we didn't do anything to the prince, so the prince doesn't have to be so polite."
Guo Zijing didn't want his sister to receive the benefits of King Rui, and said, "What the sister said is exactly, so the prince should not spend money."
The three things combined were more than one hundred taels, and they didn't want them. Tang Tao couldn't continue to hold on for this little money. After he paid the money and stood behind him with a gift, Tang Tao smiled and said, "Okay, I will take a step forward and see you again if I have the chance to do it in the future." He looked at Lin Zhu deeply, turned around and left, romantic and elegant.
Lin Zhu dared to look up at the person. When King Rui disappeared at the door, she felt much more relaxed, but she felt a little disappointed. A noble prince with a handsome appearance, a gentle smile, and obviously had a good impression of her. Why did she feel like dreaming?
"Azhu, why are your face red?" Guo Baozhu asked curiously.
Lin Zhu instantly came back to her senses. Seeing that the Guo brothers and sisters were staring at her, her face became even hotter. She turned her head and covered her up and said, "Is there any? Maybe it's a bit hot here. Okay, let's go back. My mother told me to go back early several times."
"Go back now?" Guo Baozhu asked in disbelief, "Didn't you agree to go back after lunch together? Azhu, we have a rare opportunity to go out for a walk. In the future, my brother will take part in the palace. He may not be with us next time. Think about it carefully?"
Lin Zhu actually wanted to continue shopping, but she was just nervous and panicked. Now, after hearing Guo Baozhu's distracted from her words, she couldn't help but change her words. Unfortunately, Guo Zijing didn't give her a chance and said to the outsider: "Go back, don't worry my aunt. Baozhu likes to be with Azhu. She can visit her uncle's house on weekdays or invite Azhu to our house. Azhu is still young, and you are fifteen, so it's better to show off less."
"You can't go out at the fifteenth day!" Guo Baozhu glared at her brother angrily, and her good mood was completely gone. "I urged me to get married every day. I will never get married in this life. I will wander in front of you for the rest of my life. See what you can do with me!"
Guo Zijing used to glance at her, and despite Lin Zhu's objection, he settled the bill together and brought two boxes of gifts out of the shop first.
Guo Baozhu pursed her lips and didn't want to leave.
Lin Zhu was very guilty of making trouble like this, and took Guo Baozhu's arm and whispered: "It's okay. If you go out in the future, come and come to me. Let's go out for a walk. Brother Guo is busy with official business and most of the time he doesn't like to do this with us." And she doesn't want Guo Zijing to help pay. Guo Zijing is so cold that she dare not persist. In the future, only Guo Baozhu will not have this kind of concern.
Guo Baozhu finally smiled on her face. When she was about to reach the door, she turned her head and stared at Lin Zhu and said, "This is what you said. If you come out next time, you will ask you to go back shortly. I will never play with you again!"
Lin Zhu hurriedly promised not.
Two good sisters with similar interests happily got on the carriage. The gift box was already inside. They talked about the Cancan full moon Eli Lilly again. Guo Zijing stood outside for a while, confirmed that they had sat firmly, and whispered to the coachman to drive the car to the Lin family, and he got on the horse.
At this time, the day was almost over, and the streets were very lively, and the carriages were walking slower than when they came.
In the car, Lin Zhu always wanted to inquire about King Rui, but she was afraid that she would not speak up if she was seen through. Guo Baozhu grew up in the capital and had seen many nobles. Today, she met King Rui, which was not too big. In addition, she was not interested in the prince or something. As soon as King Rui left, she threw the person behind. How could she guess the good sisters around her were looking forward to her taking the initiative to mention it?
When the two of them were thinking about each other, the hawkers suddenly heard the melodious shouts from the street outside, selling candied haws.
Lin Zhu immediately remembered what he promised his younger brother and hurriedly called the coachman to stop the car.
"What are you going to do?" Guo Baozhu asked curiously.
Lin Zhu opened the curtain and looked outside. When he saw the stall selling candied haws, he was placed opposite him. He turned around and smiled, "I promised Xiaojiu that I bought him candied haws. Do you want the jewel? I'll buy you a bunch of candied haws."
When Guo Baozhu saw the strings of bright red fruits, he also felt sour water in his mouth. Seeing Guo Zijing leaning over in confusion, he thought of his temper at the wood carving shop, so he went to the window and used a gesture of appreciating his face and said, "Brother, Azhu and I want to eat candied haws, go buy them... How many strings do we want for Azhu?"
Lin Zhu looked at her with a smile: "I want four strings, where are you?" The family of four is one string. My father has been studying hard recently. She goes to respect his father and make him happy.
Guo Baozhu understood her feelings in the blink of an eye. She suddenly wanted to buy a string for everyone in her family, so she pulled off her purse and handed it to her brother: "Give it, buy eight strings!" Although she was angry with her brother, she still obeyed him.
Guo Zijing stared at the purse in his sister's hand, expressionless, and slowly looked at the two girls almost next to the car window. When did he promise to help? He, a man in his twenties, actually asked him to buy eight strings of candied haws?
He looked up and was about to call the coachman, but Guo Baozhu saw his mind and immediately softened his voice and acted coquettishly: "Brother, go buy it, I just want to eat what you bought. You are tall. When you go there, take a closer look and pick a few best strings!"
Lin Zhu hurriedly left the window and couldn't help laughing at Guo Baozhu. She didn't have an older brother, and for the first time she knew that her sister could bully her brother like this.
Guo Zijing was bullied by her sister countless times, but she couldn't do anything about her. She frowned and signaled Guo Baozhu to retract her arm and put it down, but she had no choice but to get off the horse. She was about to go over. He heard that there was another movement behind her. He suddenly turned around and asked unhappily: "You still want to..."
Unexpectedly, another cute face appeared by the window.
Lin Zhu felt a little embarrassed and blushed slightly, "Brother Guo, can you please pick the seeds from my four strings?"
Guo Baozhu followed closely and said, "Brother, we have to get rid of the seeds too!" After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhu and smiled.
The two girls smiled with their eyebrows and eyes, as innocent as children. Guo Zijing suddenly felt that these were the two little sisters. He sighed helplessly and turned around.
He was tall and still eye-catching when he was walking through the crowd. Guo Baozhu and Lin Zhu looked at him together. Seeing him standing outside a few children, he reached out to point a few places on the shelf full of candied haws. As he really chose carefully, he couldn't help laughing. When Guo Zijing walked back with four strings of candied haws in one hand, Lin Zhu could no longer watch and hid back in the carriage and laughed.
"Brother is so nice. I'll give you food when I get home!" Guo Baozhu praised without hesitation.
Guo Zijing glared at her, and after handing over the things, he got on the horse and led the way in front.
On the way to Lin Mansion, Guo Zijing hesitated. King Rui was so tempted that he had a good attitude in the backyard, and he must be at ease among women. He really wanted to approach a girl deliberately. I believe that few girls would not be moved, especially a girl like Lin Zhu. Logically speaking, how Lin Zhu reacted had nothing to do with him, but when he thought of Lin Zhu's childishness when he reminded him of the childishness when he bought seedless candied haws, he always felt that he should at least remind her. He reminded that Lin Zhu continued to be moved by King Rui, which means that she wanted the wealth of the royal palace, so his reminder would be unnecessary. But what if Lin Zhu didn't want to be a concubine, his reminder would make her calm sooner, so as not to get deeper and deeper.
However, he is a big man, isn't it appropriate to remind him?
Guo Zijing is not an indecisive person, and he did not hesitate for too long. When the carriage stopped in front of the Lin family and Lin Zhu was about to enter, Guo Zijing asked his sister in a neither high nor low voice: "By the way, Baozhu, you often go out with your mother as a guest, have you ever met Princess Rui?"
"I have seen it twice. Brother asked me what I did?" Guo Baozhu had just gotten into the car and didn't go in for the time being when she heard this, so she turned around and asked.
Guo Zijing said casually: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered, go in, let's go." After saying that, he took the reins from the coachman's hand, turned over the horse, as if he didn't notice the figure of the little girl standing at the door, looked forward with her head raised and her chest, and walked slowly.

Wangzhuxuan.
Ning was sitting on the kang teasing her granddaughter.
Cancan, who will be full moon in a few days, has grown nearly two pounds longer than when he was born. He is white and fat, and his big eyes look even more beautiful. The little girl's eyebrows are still not particularly obvious, but her eyelashes are already very long and slightly curled, so she is very popular.
Perhaps children like bright colors. The family has prepared so many toys. Cancan likes the most is the fox lantern that Aji asked Madam Jiang to bring on a whim. She would cry when she took it away. Aji had no choice but to let Zhao Chen hang the fox lantern on the beam of the room. She put it down for her daughter to play in the daytime, and when she was about to sleep at night, she would lift the lantern up. Cancan took her milk for a while and turned her head to look at her. Zhao Chen liked her clever and cute look. She lowered her head and wanted to kiss her daughter. Cancan immediately returned to her mother's arms, as if she was not willing to kiss her father.
Now Ning put down the lantern and turned a fox's tail to Cancan's little hand. Cancan screamed excitedly, crisp and loud, grinning, his big eyes bent into crescent moons, and his little hands had already grasped the fox's tail and kept firmly putting it on. Aji pretended to rob, Cancan immediately widened his eyes and tried hard.
"Even your mother wants you, Cancan, why are you so domineering? It's exactly the same as your father when he was a child..." Ning smiled and said something she was destined to not understand. Cancan really couldn't understand. Seeing that his mother wouldn't steal it from him, she laughed again, and her other little hand was opened, as if she wanted to hold another tail.
Aji sat aside and laughed secretly. His daughter was indeed domineering. Last night, Zhao Chen wanted to do something bad, but his daughter was anxious when she saw it. She cried and didn't want her father to steal her food. Zhao Chen was extremely embarrassed and pretended to be angry and slapped Cancan's little butt. He tried two times, but he didn't dare to snatch food in front of his daughter. Aji felt gloating at that time. No one could take care of Zhao Chen's domineeringness before, but now someone can take care of him.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were having fun. Cuiyu outside replied hesitantly: "Grandma, the visitor is Mrs. Zeng from Liaodong. An uncle and a cousin. The uncle rested in the front yard. The grandma asked her to take the eldest lady to Rongshoutang to pay homage to Mrs. Zeng."
Zhao Chen mentioned the news that someone was coming to Liaodong. Aji was not surprised, but he didn't expect that the wife would do this. At her home, as long as the family conditions allow, her wife would not go out before the full confinement period. When the weather is warm, the children can be taken out to show their relatives, but now it is in the cold winter...
Aji looked at her mother-in-law and saw that she seemed to be curious about what she would do. She smiled at her lips. Aji felt sure and told her calmly: "You went back to Rongshoutang, and only said that I was physically weak after giving birth. The doctor told her not to go out before the full month. The eldest lady just fell asleep and suddenly took her out for fear of catching a cold. Please forgive me."
If she is in good health, it would be fine to go through some false rituals. Now the lady doesn't care about the stability of their mother and daughter, and she doesn't have to hold her daughter to show her to outsiders even if she is cold. It's a few days apart, and it's a few days apart. They are all female relatives. Mrs. Zeng is really polite and should they come to Zhuxuan if she wants to see the eldest lady. There is no reason to make trouble for people like this.
The daughter-in-law was not cowardly. Ning Shi was very pleased and looked at Cancan and said, "It should be like this. You can give in when you can give in. When there is no need to give in, you will reply directly. Even if this matter is spread, outsiders will only say that they are rude. Aji, please clean up briefly. I guess they will probably come."
"Well, go back first?" Aji asked worriedly. After returning to Beijing, Ning and the wife had never met.
Ning looked up at her and asked with a smile: "Why do you want to leave?"
On the Rongshoutang, Cuiyu had just finished replying and her wife smashed a bowl of tea on her body, "Your grandma is in three days to finish her confinement. What's the difference between it and after she finishes? If it weren't for a distinguished guest at home, would I let her come over? When was it bad to be spoiled? At this time, she would behave like Qiao and don't understand the rules at all!"
Cuiyu quickly knelt down and apologized: "The lady calmed down. It was really cold outside. Our grandmother was worried about the eldest lady..."
"Okay, okay, it's not that Chengyuan's wife is because I'm not considerate. I heard that Chengyuan's wife was born in the countryside, and many of the villagers went to work in the fields just a few days after giving birth. I thought Chengyuan's wife was in good health and not so particular... Look at me, after all, she married into our Marquis' Mansion, of course she has to pay attention to the style of the capital. Let's go, I'll go and see the mother and mother, and then compensate her. As soon as she comes, she makes such a misunderstanding. But don't blame Chengyuan's wife for being disgusted."
The old woman with round face dressed in precious silk clothes sitting opposite the lady spoke with a remorse. After saying that, she stood up, and the girl with red dress sitting on her lower head had already stood up and held her arm forward, and smiled and smoothed out, "Grandma, don't say that, you didn't expect that my cousin's wife was so particular, right?"
Mrs. Zeng glared at her with anger: "Don't be rude, are you supposed to say this?"
The girl in red dress lowered her head aggrievedly.
The lady sneered: "What did Xue Rou do? Xue Rou is right. It's all my spoiled her too much and spoiled her into such a arrogant temper. Let's go, she won't come. Let's go and see her. I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
As soon as she finished speaking, maids immediately came forward with their cloaks to serve the three of them.
"Madam, go slowly, I will go back first and send a message." Cuiyu said with her head down, and after receiving a gentle hum of the grandma, she immediately got up and left. When she was about to leave the Rongshoutang Gate, she looked back and saw that Madam and others had already left the door. The tall girl in red dress was like a red plum in the snow, attracting attention.hf();
