The girls were dressed up and went to the upper room one after another.
The old lady was there, Luo Yun was also there, talking to Master Tang, Master Tang had only been a county official in his life, and when he saw Luo Yuan and other four-grade people, his attitude was a little restrained, and he saw that he was much younger than himself, and he was even more cramped and uneasy, but Mrs. Tang was more generous, and she could make the old lady laugh with a few words.
The girl ring at the door opened the curtain, and saw four girls walking in front and back, in order, Luo Baozhang was in the front.
She didn't dress up much, she was wearing an ordinary apricot red skirt, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, very outstanding, Mrs. Tang glanced at it, paused slightly, and her eyes fell on Luo Baotang. She was dressed more elegantly, a short shirt with willow green pomegranate flowers, a white skirt with a pick-up line, her hair was cleaned up and only two hostas were inserted, and she was very dignified when she walked around, I didn't know, I thought it was the eldest daughter of their family.
Only waited until Luo Baoying came to her, Mrs. Tang was a little surprised, I remember seeing it once last year, it was just a little girl, this time it was much taller, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, more beautiful than Luo Baotang, her words and deeds were elegant, and she was full of golden posture, presumably after a year or two, it must be dazzling. The last one was a little girl like a blessing doll, with a round face, big eyes, and as cute as a pink carving, and Mrs. Tang couldn't help but laugh again.
"I've also been to many people's homes as guests, but it's really not as dazzling as the girls in the house!" She complimented.
Yuan said modestly: "Where, it's just a little cleaned up, and it's just passable." ”
The elders greeted each other, and the girls stood down when they saw them.
Today, the intentions of both sides are obvious, it is a mutual temptation, in fact, since the Yuan family invited, Mrs. Tang knew that she was already half sure, after all, Luo Yuan is the imperial history of the left capital, although he is from a cold family, but the master is Lord Jiang, and there are relatives like the Wei family, which cannot be underestimated in Kyoto, and what does their Tang family have? There is only a famous son, and he is still the reason why he is a concubine of the Luo family.
The concubine will never be able to take their turn, and Mrs. Tang knows it.
The old lady mentioned Tang Gongzi at this time: "Don't be busy praising our girl, your son-in-law can be listed on the laurel list for more than 20 places, which is also very good." ”
Raising people's rank is to make a living, but it's hard to say whether you can get to the palace test, how many people stop here? Luo Baozhang thought to himself, and then looked up at Tang Gongzi opposite, and his first impression was that his complexion was black, so black that he almost covered his facial features, but if he looked closely, it didn't seem to be ugly.
That's it, Luo Baozhang was also disappointed, during this time, he saw a lot of beautiful men in Kyoto, his father and brother were outstanding, how could this one get into the eye?
She quickly lowered her head again.
Tang Gongzi didn't seem to notice it, and he didn't look at a few more girls, but he was quite honest.
After everyone talked for a while, the men and women separated, the Tang family had no daughters, only two sons, and the other was still young, Mrs. Tang was afraid that he would be naughty and did not bring it, so it was still the four girls of the Luo family together.
After seeing this, Luo Baozhang was even more bored, and he had a straight face on the road, secretly thinking that the Yuan family really didn't have a good heart, then Master Tang was only promised, and Tang Gongzi didn't look outstanding, she was just a daughter who was thrown out when she was old!
Seeing that she was angry, Luo Baoying couldn't help but sigh again.
In her opinion, if Tang Gongzi gave it to her, she couldn't accept it.
Of course, with the identity of the eldest daughter, it may be better, but it is only better, is it really useful?
I have to sigh, her original life was really freewheeling, this time she became Luo Baoying, it was too different, she must have a good relationship with her grandmother and father, if it really comes to that day, Yuan's fancy it, she can't look down on it, and she can still beg those two, but it may not be done.
When I thought about the future, I felt a dark cloud above my head, and it would rain at any time.
Only Luo Baozhu was carefree and pulled her to play on the swing.
When he returned to the room, Luo Baozhang lost his temper, and Yindan persuaded: "The girl really doesn't want to marry, so she can only go to see the master." ”
Is Father willing?
Luo Baozhang has no confidence.
Father's rewards and punishments are clear, not who can get liked by being coquettish, so Luo Baoying came from Huzhou, but after a year or two of hard work, the status has risen like flying, all thanks to her talent, so that the Luo family has face, otherwise it is Luo Baozhu, hasn't her father forced her to study recently?
She didn't know anything about this, thought about it for a while, turned out the needle and thread, and planned to make double Luo socks for Luo Yun.
In the upper room, as soon as the Tang family left, the Yuan family was supported by the slaves and maids, and hurriedly came to find Luo Yun, and the old lady spoke.
This was really unexpected!
"Mrs. Tang kept praising Baotang, and I realized that she actually fell in love with Baotang." Yuan's headache, but Luo Baotang is only thirteen, and he is married, so why do you have to wait until next year? Most of the girls in Kyoto were married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but it was not uncommon for them to be a year earlier.
But the problem is that the top priority is to let Luo Baozhang get married first.
The old lady's eyes widened: "There is such a thing, then it was ......"
"Originally, she didn't mention it explicitly, and besides, Baotang was younger last year, or she didn't like Baozhang today." Yuan wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said to Luo Yun, "Master, this matter is my mistake......
Luo Yun frowned, and said very unhappily: "Then the Tang family is also kicking their noses, and our Luo family's daughter is still up to their family?" ”
"That's not what I said." Seeing that her son was angry, the old lady hurriedly comforted, "I think this Master Tang and Tang Gongzi are both very honest, except that Mrs. Tang is a little shrewd, such a person is quite at ease, and Baotang's style of behavior is very regular, and it looks like it should be, unlike Baozhang, you look at her, no matter how she dresses up, there is a little wind and dust on her body, and it is not easy to please." ”
It is also true that although Luo Baozhang is the eldest daughter, it is a little difficult to be a wife, the son likes it, most ladies will not take a fancy to it, who will like a daughter-in-law like a fox spirit?
Now let's see, even the Tang family doesn't want it.
Yuan really has a headache.
When a mother-in-law is like this, the choice is too poor, the mother-in-law thinks that she has no love for her daughter, but it is difficult for the concubine to choose a good one, otherwise how can you say that good things are more grinding.
The old lady said: "Why don't make up your mind so quickly, and then take a look, if Mrs. Tang is not out of tune and really likes Baotang, it's not impossible to make a decision first." ”
Yuan Shi was taken aback: "Mother, haven't you always loved Baotang?" ”
Before Luo Baoying came, Luo Baotang was the first, and he was also well-behaved, often accompanied by the old lady, and the relationship with the jade fan was even deeper, and when it came to Luo Baotang's lifelong event, Yuan felt that it might not be easier than Luo Baozhang.
As a result, the old lady did not rush to refuse.
Luo Yun also looked at the old lady.
The old lady sighed and said very softly.
Standing outside, the jade fan with the snack didn't hear it, but even if she didn't hear it, she knew what the old lady should have said.
Luo Baotang was born ugly.
Unlike Luo Yuanjue, most of them are like Luo Yun, he is a handsome young man, Luo Baotang is more than half like a jade fan, with a collapsed nose, small eyes, and his skin is not very white. But so what? In the Locke family, it is the appearance of the bottom, needless to say in Kyoto, it is impossible to get into the eyes of others at all.
And she is still a concubine, her talent is not good, and her talent is not as good as others.
Such a girl, if it weren't for the relationship of the Luo family, how many families would be willing to marry?
The jade fan went in with the snacks, served them with a smile, and waited until they came out, but they walked to no one's place and cried fiercely, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, only covered their noses and mouths, and the sound came out of it with a trace of voice, and went away with the wind, and no one heard this heartfelt cry.
When she finished crying and wiped away her tears, she walked to the back room to see Luo Baotang.
Luo Baotang has a humble personality, in the back room, a slightly better room was also given to Luo Baozhang, she lives in the west, and is writing with a pen at the moment.
The sun shimmered on her eyelashes, and it was even moving to look at at that moment.
The jade fan almost cried again.
Her daughter has been sensible since she was a child, she didn't let others worry about it, she also likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she likes to smear on rice paper when she is very young, in the eyes of the jade fan, she writes everything beautifully, at that time the Wang family didn't take care of them, and their mother and daughter were often together. Only later did the Wang family die, and the Yuan family came, for fear that her mother-in-law would be blamed, Luo Baotang gradually became a little estranged from her, but whenever she got something, she would never forget her.
also knew that persuading Luo Yuanjue to be good to her.
Yu Fan wiped his eyes, walked in and said with a smile: "What are you writing again?" ”
Luo Baotang put down the pen and said seriously: "In the post, there are a few words that are always not good-looking. ”
"I'm really fascinated, it's not good for a girl to learn from a female worker, so I have to practice this." Jade Fan glanced at her fingers, so diligent and hardworking, writing out all the finger calluses, who would praise you? Who knows if you really like this, what's the use?
She said this many times, but Luo Baotang didn't care, and asked with a smile: "Why did you come suddenly?" ”
"......Passing by," Yu Fan said, "I was going to the warehouse to get some things, but I suddenly thought of you, come and see." ”
Luo Baotang laughed: "Didn't you just see it in the upper room just now?" ”
The jade fan was speechless, squeezing out a smile: "You girl, can't you take a look more?" I'm leaving. ”
"Don't be busy just yet." Luo Baotang took out a pair of shoes, "I made it a few days ago, you can take it." ”
"Do you have time to make one?" The jade fan was happy in her heart, but she said, "Where can I wear it, and my wife knows that I can still get it?" It's better to give it to Madame. ”
"It's okay, you serve your grandmother all day long, and your grandmother likes to send you to everything, how many pairs of shoes have been broken." Luo Baotang said, "You can wear it, I told my mother, she is not allowed, and said that you take good care of your grandmother, and you also share her worries." ”
Why isn't it a share of worries? Otherwise, there are always some daughters-in-law who have to do these things themselves, and the jade fan thought about it and accepted it.
Seeing that she was leaving, Luo Baotang said behind him: "It's cold after the cold dew, you should be careful." ”
The voice was soft and soft, full of concern, the tears finally couldn't help but fall, the jade fan didn't care about wiping it and hurriedly left, thinking in his heart, such a child is not worthy of the Tang family!
This matter dragged on for a while, Luo Baozhang heard that the Tang family fell in love with Luo Baotang, she was really angry and funny, she was so angry, the Tang family didn't take a fancy to her, she laughed, that Tang Gongzi was born with that black charcoal, and Luo Baotang was the most commensurate, she didn't want it, but solved the irritability.
In October, Luo Yun finally decided on the matter of opening the shop, and only made zero total preparations, and the Spring Festival was approaching.
This day is about to open, the two sons have returned from the academy, the four girls also dressed up, talking and laughing just about to play, the entourage reported that the Wei family was coming, and brought a plaque.
When the old lady heard this, she laughed: "Needless to say, it must have been written by Lang'er herself." She waved her hand, "Go quickly, don't miss the hour." ”
The young man walked out happily.
