Chapter 20 Hundreds of Good Girls

Because he slept for too long, Shaohua felt a headache when he got up, and then he couldn't sleep for three days. It's not easy to fall asleep. The dream is not finished, and it's already dawn. Under such a vicious circle, by the next day when Shaohua started, the sun had risen three poles.

Chuhe and Youhan came in with a washed tea towel and saw that she was still lying lazily on **, and sighed at the same time.

"Five ladies, if you lie down like this, your wife and third ladies will come back." Chu He helped dress Shaohua and comb his hair, while the young man tidyed up the bed.

When Shaohua heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Where have they been?" When the young man tidyed up the bed, Chu He had also combed a small flowing cloud bun for Shaohua and was about to pin a tourmaline bead hairpin for her, which was stopped by Shaohua. No, I have something else to do later. You put something else on my head."

"Five Lady, a pair of pearl hairpins won't prevent you from walking. If you don't like this pair, I'll change a pair of red agate butterfly hairpins for you." Chuhe put down the tourmaline and broken pearls and went to find another pair of red agate butterflies. The gold wire is wrapped in a nail-sized agate ring into a butterfly, and the ends of the two long whiskers are inlaid with two small jade stones. When it moves, the long beard will gently shake a few times.

Shaohua stared at the two long beards and trembled, and immediately changed his mind. He pointed to the pearl and said, "You'd better use it, right?"

Chu He covered her mouth and smiled, "It's not easy for the five ladies to dress up too beautifully for fear of competing with other women. They don't have to go to school today, and they don't dress well. Qi Niangzi is the same age as you, but she cares much more than you care about. Saying that, before Shaohua withdrew his hand, he put a pair of shrimp beard bracelets on her. "She cares about her business, and I don't need to see guests. Why do I bring so many things?" Seeing her helpless face, I let her go: "Madam originally wanted to take the Third Lady to the Duke of the Fan Mansion with you this morning. When the Third Lady saw that you couldn't wake up, she went back for you. Go. If the Third Lady comes back and sees you still like this, she will definitely blame us.

Jinhua dresses brightly every day when he goes out, and there will be many bead hairpins every three or five times. Ling didn't say anything, but Wanhua could see clearly that she must have begged Li Xunzhuo to buy it for her. Every time I get a new pattern, I always take the opportunity to show off. Wanhua knows that his face is long, and it is not easy to carry too much jewelry on his head, which seems cumbersome. However, Shaohua is a lazy bone. Her face is round, her hair is dark and thick, and she looks good no matter what jewelry she wears. But she thought it was inconvenient to write with bracelets, so she pulled them off. She liked to walk with the wind, and almost shook her steps to the things next to her several times. Finally, he simply didn't bring anything. Wanhua corrected it once, and Shaohua went in his left ear and out in his right ear. He was obedient in front of her and pulled it off as soon as he turned around.

In the gap that Chu He said to Shaohua, the young man had already neatly put the breakfast on the table, turned around and smiled at them, "I think the third lady should be shy, afraid that the fifth lady will see her blush."

Because Shaohua got up late, she didn't dare to prepare much early, for fear that she would not be able to eat at noon. Shaohua came over and was immediately seduced by a fragrant and hot bowl of wolfberry chicken porridge. My stomach beat the war drum awkwardly, and then I found that I had emptied my stomach all night.

Although it is just a bowl of white porridge cooked with minced meat and wolfberries, first wash and soak the rice in water, then marinate the minced meat and chicken with salt, wine and ginger to stir-fry it out the fragrance, skim off the oil, pour it into the white porridge, and slowly simmer until the rice is cooked. At this time, the boiled rice can absorb the flavor of meat, and it will not make the minced meat in the porridge tasteless.

Shaohua finished the porridge and immediately moved to other battlefields. In addition to the wolfberry chicken porridge for breakfast, there was also a plate of golden white jade dumplings and a small bowl of chicken bean sprouts. There are only two dumplings on the small plate of blue and white lotus leaves, a golden crispy fried dumpling and a crystal clear steamed dumpling. Fried dumplings are noodles kneaded with eggs mixed with flour, wrapped with bean sprouts, chicken and a little white, and then fried. Steamed dumplings are made with clear powder, and the inner part is made of bamboo shoots, mushrooms and pork.

It looks like a golden skin with a white jade-like filling, and the bean sprouts are greasy, which just resists the greasiness of the outer layer. One looks like mutton fat white jade, and there are golden bamboo shoots in it. The meat provides grease for winter bamboo shoots, and the excess oil is absorbed by the mushrooms. Compared with fried dumplings, it has a delicious taste.

In contrast, a bowl of clear soup with a few thin bean sprouts looks much simpler.

"What's so shy about? It's all about sooner or later. Isn't it just to see each other in the name of Mrs. Fan this time?" Shaohua ate so fast that he wiped out two bowls and plates on the table in a short time. Shaohua touched his stomach, felt that only two-thirds had been filled, and looked at Chu He sadly. Chuhe, I'm not full yet. Is there anything else I can eat? Chuhe shook his head and said, "It's getting late. After a while, my wife will have breakfast as soon as they come back. You eat too much in the morning and can't eat at noon. I'll peel a pear for you later. I just picked it from the mountain. It's so sweet.

Shaohua had no choice but to nod, "What were you talking about shyness? What are you looking at? Who is going to look at each other?"

Chu He glanced at her with an obvious expression, "Of course it's the third lady. After this year, the third wife will be sixteen. Now if we make a marriage, they can carry a sedan chair to get married after the Dragon Boat Festival next year. If you wait until the beginning of spring, you are afraid that you will have to endure one more Spring Festival. Generally, people say that they don't like to spend two springs when they see each other. Chuhe is 14 years old this year, and he will be there next year. If it is really settled, after the Spring Festival, the book or chapter will have to pass first.

"Why?" Shaohua was stunned. What kind of rule is this? Why didn't she remember it?

Chuhe only thought that Shaohua grew up in the countryside and didn't understand the rules of Beijing. He was generous and explained to her: "I don't know if there are such rules elsewhere. However, in Beijing, all rich and noble families do this. The wife began to talk about marriage on 1536 and decided to send a maid close to her within three months. The beautiful name is to help the wife clean the yard of the house. In fact, it is to take care of Lang Jun and prevent him from having other thoughts. Moreover, the maid who sent there has to collect the house. If you go there earlier, you can collect the people of your husband's family.

"This is more than that. Some rich and noble families have sent several, saying that they have decided to go through the door, but they are inseparable. If something happens in Lang Jun's room in front of the wife's door, it's not good for her. So the maid who simply sent her was his own person. When Youhan said, her cheeks blushed slightly, and one of her and Chu He will also guard the future Langjun for Shaohua in the future.

"It's such a trouble, why don't you just marry early!" Shaohua thought for a moment and felt something was wrong. "No, I remember my sister... I mean, when the eldest brother got married, General Dingxi didn't send a maid." Not only did not, but also the Li family wrote a letter to inquire. As soon as Dingxi General Xin Maoshan expressed his intention, before the letter was sent, the Li family asked someone to accompany Li Sijin in person.

Xin Maoshan looked at Li Sijin's appearance, which was romantic and admiring Li Ge Lao. At present, he agreed to this marriage, and even avoided the marriage that year, and directly asked the Li family to carry the sedan chair to marry her daughter. Although Li Sijin's marriage was indeed for a reason and it was decided to be urgent, Shaohua had never heard of the rules just mentioned by Chu He. Even when the emperor gave her marriage, she had not experienced it.

"That's different. Our young master is no more rich than other rich and noble men. He doesn't even have a maid around him. General Dingxi is naturally relieved." The young Han doesn't care a little.

Cchu He looked at Shaohua's frown, thought for a moment, and said, "What is the Fifth Lady worried about?"

After being asked, Youhan also hurriedly restrained his emotions and said, "Five Lady, don't worry, Chu He and I will help her watch her uncle in the future."

That's why I'm more worried. Shaohua looked at them indifferently and said, "I heard that many families did not wait for marriage and married their wives directly." No matter how familiar people are, they are outsiders for themselves and their future husbands.

The first lotus nodded, which is the default. This is also true. After 16 years old, there is no such talk about kissing. Some people don't have time to wait for marriage. Unfortunately, the elderly in the family have to get married within 100 days. According to the old tradition, on the one's is to test Lang Jun's sincerity, and on the other, his mother's family has raised his wife for many years. I'm always reluctant to marry like this, so I asked to stay for another year, and it gradually turned into waiting for marriage. Chu He said slowly and did not forget the work in his hand. "Not every family has it. At that time, all the ladies in Beijing will do this, and they will follow the public. However, the wife is not having a good time, and she can go out to play before the marriage. After making a decision, my wife can't see anyone except her family, let alone go out. She rushes to make wedding clothes in the house every day, so that she looks like a lady.

After listening to Chu He's words, Shaohua felt better. If she wants to get married, she has to send the maid to warm her husband's bed first, then she would rather not be a maid. Besides, she is having a headache on how to go out now. For no reason, she had to wait another two years to marry, and she didn't know whether the Yan teenager had married or not.

"So, the third sister is sure today?" After putting down his mind, Shaohua couldn't help gossiping. When she asked about Wanhua that night, she blushed and didn't say anything, but said that she listened to her mother's arrangement.

One shook his head and nodded, which made Shaohua confused.

"What does this mean? Do you know or don't you know?" After listening to Shaohua's words, the two looked at each other. As a result, the person who nodded turned into shaking his head, but the person who shook his head nodded. Seeing that Shaohua was not good, he looked up on the floor and explained, "Five Lady, it's not so easy to decide. Nading is about the same as hiring, and he also wants to beat the gongs and drums and come here in a serious manner. However, now several wives are asking the third lady, and we don't know who the wife has decided. I only heard that we made an appointment to meet at the vassal palace today, and I think we have decided on a candidate.

Chu He and Youhan both came out of Ling's house, so I'm afraid they know the news better than Wanhua.

"So we can only wait for them to come back." Shaohua seemed a little disappointed. I thought there had been someone in my heart.

Chu He covered her mouth and smiled softly, "If a good girl asks for a hundred families, the lady will naturally have more palms for the three wives. The first five ladies saluted, and the lady had to be busy again. Shaohua put her head in her hands and buried her face on the table sadly, but Chu He and Youhan thought she was shy.

"Five sister, what's going on?" A delicate sound sounded at the door.
