The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 189

 Chapter 189 Being inexplicably targeted

The two young ladies went to the main courtyard hand in hand to tell Cheng Yingzhen to go out. Mao Ya had already asked Su Xiaomei and she was cleaning up.

Cheng Yingzhen asked worriedly, "It's just the two of you. You're not very old. Wouldn't it be wrong to bring a younger one?"

“Auntie, my little sister is very obedient, it's okay.”

Seeing Sister Rong fighting for a chance to go out and play for herself, Su Xiaomei happily gestured at her.

Yang Birong raised her eyebrows proudly, with a smug look on her face.

Su Ruojin still couldn't bear to leave the Nuomi Dumpling girl when she saw her mother, as she promised, "Mom, I will go to Zhucui Pavilion and not go anywhere else. I will come back after playing for a while."

Cheng Yingzhen was willing to let her six-year-old daughter out only after her eldest daughter promised.

"come back earlier."

Seeing the three young ladies running out the door happily, Cheng Yingzhen was behind giving instructions, but the young ladies' backs quickly disappeared from her sight, and she sighed happily.

Ms. Ding was sitting on the porch doing needlework. She saw her daughter's expression of reluctance and said, "I just went out to play for a while to make you nervous and worried."

Cheng Yingzhen turned around and went up to the corridor and sat down next to her mother. "How can we not be worried? Last year, Dalang went back to Pingjiang Prefecture to take the scholar examination and was almost robbed..." She did not dare to continue.

Ding put down her needle and thread and put her hand on the back of her daughter's hand. "Fortunately, Dalangji has his own destiny and was saved."

“Yes, thank God for blessing.” Cheng Yingzhen clasped her hands together and thanked God.

Ding looked up at the sky and said with emotion: "The world is not peaceful recently."

When his son was in danger of being attacked by bandits, Su Yanli told Cheng Yingzhen some things about why banditry occurred. The official's family was in poor health, so power was delegated to several sons. The fight for power among several princes led to the formation of cliques among the people below, and the officialdom became It is turbid and life is difficult for ordinary people.

Su Ruojin didn't know that her father actually told his wife about the situation in the court. She took her sister and Yang Siniang and got out of the carriage happily. The girls Chunxiao, Qiuyue, Mao Ya, and Yang Siniang's girls Wintersweet and Juhua entered Zhucui together. Pavilion.

Every young lady comes out to buy something new but not expensive, so they choose on the first floor.

The two young ladies stood next to each other, squeezing their heads, talking about the various beaded hairpins on the counter. This one was beautiful, and that gem was eye-catching. Each one felt beautiful, and every time they stopped to admire it, they At this time, the waiter will quote the price of the beaded flower headdress.

 “This five taels…”

 “That ten taels…”

 “This work is complicated and costs twenty taels.”

Hearing more than five taels, Yang Birong secretly made a fool of herself towards Su Ruojin, looking very expensive.

A few years ago, when the Su family was not in business, these things would have been extremely expensive. Although Su Ruojin is rich now, Su Ruojin still feels they are expensive and heavy to wear on her head, so she really can't afford it.

“How about we go see silk flowers and velvet flowers?”

Yang Birong pursed her lips, pointed at a delicate and elegant hairpin and said, "I've fallen in love with this."

This is a very exquisitely made hairpin. The top of the long golden skewer has pearl branches, gold-inlaid jade leaves, and two plum blossoms inlaid with pearls, one large and one small on the top of the branches. It is elegant and pure.

　　It makes people like it at first sight.

“The price for this is thirty taels.”

 “So expensive?”

 It looks really good-looking, and it's also really expensive.

“Little lady, look at it. There are four or five large and small pearls on it, and it's made of gold. The leaves and petals are made of white jade. It's really not expensive!”

Yang Birong looked at Su Ruojin and asked her if it was worth the price. If it was worth it, she would buy it.

Su Ruojin secretly estimated the price. The two water-drop pearls on the branches are really beautiful, and the two pearls with plum blossom cores are medium-sized and of good quality. As for the white jade, they are probably leftovers for something large. , were carved into flower petals, it was considered waste, but the quality was indeed good. Thirty taels of the entire hairpin was not needed, but twenty taels was absolutely necessary.

Just when she was about to raise two fingers, three or five young ladies came in at some point, each with their servants, and the hall seemed to be filled all of a sudden.

One of the leaders, a pretty and bright lady, looked aloof and condescending. When she was led up the stairs, she heard Yang Siniang complaining about the price and snorted coldly, "If you can't afford it, don't go out and embarrass yourself."

Just as Yang Siniang was about to pull Su Ruojin aside to discuss the price, she was stunned by the sudden sneer and subconsciously retorted, "I don't know you." It looked like you were nosy.

The pretty and bright young lady is standing on the steps of the stairs, condescending, as if you don't even know me and I'm dragging you out to make a plan.

Sure enough, the girl and woman beside her swished forward and asked in a domineering tone, "How can I talk to my wife?" She looked at the woman next to her.

 The mother-in-law slapped her hands and called over.

 (⊙o⊙)Hey!

Su Ruojin had quick eyes and quick hands, and reached out to grab the mother-in-law's reaching arm, "This beautiful little lady, Zhucui Pavilion is open for business, and there are all customers coming in, all wanting to buy things. You came up and said you can't afford it. I wonder if you are here?" Did you take the wrong medicine somewhere, or did you fix it up and find someone to vent your anger on? "

 The master's majesty was questioned, how could the maid and the old lady be willing to give up, and actually come together with a few people?

From the age of eight to thirteen, getting up early every day to practice the moves was not in vain. Su Ruojin and Mao Ya were able to restrain seven or eight girls and women who were stepped on by their feet. On the feet, the backhand is twisted.

“Beautiful little lady, I don't know where I have offended you. I want you to mind my own business by buying something?”

The beautiful little lady saw the servant being restrained, her bright little face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and her pretty little face turned ferocious, "Su Ruojin, you are brave, I am Luo Fangfei from Wuhou Mansion."

It turned out to be the natal family of Concubine Shu, the mother-in-law of the third prince, King Zhao Jiong of Qi. Three years ago, the Luo family was promoted from Wu Bo Mansion to Wuhou Mansion. It was Su Yanli's Dr. Taichang Temple who took advantage of the fight between King Wei and King Yan to mention the Luo family. dialed.

 “Are you Luo Fangfei?”

Luo Fangfei sneered, "You vixen finally knows who I am?"

In the past year, there have been rumors in the capital that Luo Fangfei, the legitimate daughter of the Wuhou Palace, is going to marry the Jin Palace, and the marriage partner is Zhao Lan, the Prince of Pingyang County.

 What does this have to do with her? She hasn't seen Zhao Lan in a year and a half. When did she become a vixen?

 “I seduced your sweetheart? Who is he?”

"You..." Luo Fangfei never expected that the person opposite would be so shameless and could say such a thing.

Yang Birong was also shocked by Su Ruojin's strong words, but when she saw the other person deflated, she was happy. The anger she felt for no reason suddenly dissipated, and she looked at the group of people opposite with a look of embarrassment.

You can't beat or scold, and you still want to find trouble. You are really overestimating your capabilities.

Su Ruojin sneered and said: "You, a daughter-in-law of the Marquis Mansion, can even tell the story of a vixen. It must be me who seduces your sweetheart. Otherwise, why would you pinch me as soon as we meet, right?"

The master's face was livid, and the maid subconsciously looked at the stairs. Three or four young ladies were following Luo Fangfei and were about to go upstairs. They stared at one of them.

The little lady was stared at and she lowered her head slightly. Su Ruojin and Yang Siniang looked at each other. Neither of them knew this person. It was strange when they had become enemies.

Besides this group of young ladies in the lobby of Zhucui Pavilion, there were many people shopping. Everyone was shocked by the jealousy among the young ladies. Are all the young ladies of this generation so straightforward and tough?

Even commonplace words like 'vixen'...'seduce' have come out. Is there anything more to follow? Who is the protagonist of the fight? They really want to know!

Someone somewhere sneezed suddenly. Who was thinking about him?

Ah owe! Another shot.

Mr. Shen joked, "Little prince, it seems like someone is scolding you behind your back."

Zhao Lan glanced over and saw that the nineteen-year-old boy had already transformed from a young boy into a handsome and handsome young man. He looked solemn and majestic.

Mr. Shen raised his hand and did not dare to joke anymore.

Luo Fangfei is not thirteen years old, she is already fifteen this year. Logically speaking, a family like the Luo family should have decided on a marriage partner long ago. In this way, it only takes two to three years from meeting to getting married, which is just right.

If you haven't decided on a marriage partner at the age of fifteen, then you will get married a year later, and if you don't get married by the age of eighteen or nine, you will become a joke to Bian Jingcheng. So when people were watching, she realized Both her own words and Su Ruojin's words were too vulgar and would have a very bad impact on her marriage, so she turned around and walked upstairs.

When she turned around, the little lady, who lowered her head with dark eyes, snorted coldly in her heart, "Yao Hanyan, just wait for me."

Seeing them coaxing them upstairs, Yang Siniang pulled Su Ruojin.

 “Let them be.”

　　I will not offend others unless they offend me.

Who has nothing to eat and hold on to?

Yang Siniang was not in the mood to buy anything because of these people, "Otherwise, we won't buy it."

"You're already here, why don't you buy it?" Su Ruojin grabbed her, "Just choose this one."

"But thirty taels is really a bit expensive." She only has eight taels of silver each month, so she has to save for several months. "My goal today is to buy a hairpin, beads, or earrings of around 20 taels." Two or three, don't buy more than five taels.”

“Just buy it if you like it.” Su Ruojin said with a smile, “No matter what, tell your mother that you bought these for your dowry.”

"I'm going to die!" Yang Birong was shy and stretched out her hand to pat Su Ruojin, "I don't even have a partner to discuss marriage with now. You are talking nonsense and you don't know how to be ashamed."

Thirteen years old, a thousand years later, is indeed the age when you have finished elementary school and just entered junior high school. However, in the Dayin Dynasty, in ordinary families, a young lady would have to discuss marriage when she was twelve or thirteen years old, and then prepare for two or three years. It is just right to get married, but if you are later than eighteen, you will be called an old girl.

 Eighteen-year-old old girl! Su Ruojin felt terrible just thinking about it.

 I don't think about it anymore.

Recruiting the waiter, "One price, twenty taels of silver. If you want to sell it, we will take it away. If it doesn't sell it, we will go to other houses to have a look."

The waiter was in a dilemma, "Madam, please add some more, thirty taels, you can return ten taels with one click, we don't have such a big profit!"

Su Ruojin picked up Yang Birong and started to walk out.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the waiter hurriedly called out, "Madam, how about you choose a different one first, and then buy another one, so that I can apply with the shopkeeper."

 “Choose whatever you want?”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, "You can't choose cheap hair ties or silk flowers, you can only choose gold, silver or pearls." As long as it is linked to these, the starting price is two taels.

"Okay." Su Ruojin was also happy, walked to a pair of pearl flowers, stretched out her hand and pointed, "That's it."

There is a pair of pearl flowers in a simple small box, with a five-layered snow-white jade base and a medium-sized pearl inlaid in the center. The workmanship is exquisite and small, making people addicted to it. "Shopkeeper, I want this pair of pearl flowers."

The waiter was shocked. This is today's promotional item, priced at two taels of silver.

 Although it is also a starting price, everyone knows that it is a promotional product, but it only sells in volume. If there is no volume, there is no money to be made.

"Little...ma'am, please choose someone else." The waiter didn't expect that he, a person who often digs holes, would be tricked.

 “I just like it.”

As soon as Su Ruojin came in, she took a fancy to him at first sight and was waiting for the opportunity to take action.

 “I came here at the request of my younger brother.”

The waiter had no choice but to cry and go to the shopkeeper to apply. In the end, Su and Yang bought two pieces for twenty-two taels, and both of them chose their favorite hairpins.

Su Ruojin got a pair of pearl hairpins and put them on Su Xiaomei's bun, one on each side. The pearls were round and exquisite. They complemented each other and looked very beautiful.

 “My little sister is so beautiful.”

Su Xiaomei really likes Sister A to dress herself up and sway her around in a pretty way, "Thank you, Sister, A sister, don't you buy it?"

“I dress like a young master now when I go out, so I don't need these things.”

Hearing this, Yang Birong was so envious, "My mother didn't even let me go out. She kept me at home doing embroidery and looking at the account books all day. If I hadn't come to see you today, I wouldn't have been able to go out."

Su Ruojin glanced at her and said, "Compared with other young ladies, your mother also asked you to inspect the shop and let you learn to run the shop, which is already very good."

　　　The girls in Mr. Xue's family on the left are all staying at home to learn female prostitution. How do you say that?

"That's true." Yang Siniang stopped feeling internally in an instant and happily left the Zhucui Pavilion. She took the two sisters from the Su family and wanted to go shopping.

Su Ruojin reminded: "Hey, hey, the money in someone's pocket...just now I was crying that I had to eat dirt this month."

 Hmmmm…

Yang Birong pursed her lips, "I spent twenty taels, you only spent twenty. But to make money, you earn two thousand...ten thousand taels a year, but I seem to only earn two hundred taels a year..." She mumbled sadly With a small mouth, "Ah Jin, you are so rich, why do you still save so much?"

Su Ruojin reached out and tapped her head, "Does your mother earn as much as me in a year?"

“That's my mother's, not mine. Whatever you earn is yours.”

“Hey!” Su Ruojin sneered at her, “What I earn belongs to my family, and I can't use it casually.”

"Liar." Yang Siniang didn't believe it. "Even your father's salary, salary, and land are at your disposal. How dare you say that you can't use them casually?"

Su Ruojin shrugged her shoulders and said, "You will find out when you become the matron of the house in the future."

Yang Birong snorted, "How come you have the same virtue as my mother, and you said you'll find out when I become the head of the household? It's really boring."

"Haha..." Su Ruojin smiled innocently. The little girl is so interesting and carefree. It's great!

After leaving Zhucui Pavilion, while the second lady and the others were getting into the car, Qiuyue whispered to the driver, Mang Zhong, "Check out the five young ladies who just entered and see whose family the young lady wearing pink peach belongs to."
