The next day Chu Ying went to Shanglin Garden for breakfast. Since Chu Jin came back, she has come here to eat. According to her, eating alone is boring.
When Chujin saw her, she teased, "I heard that you slept with gold last night? The gold was cold. How could you sleep with it?"
Chu Ying thought of her dream yesterday. She smiled and said, "Brother, you don't know. I dreamed last night that I had as much gold as a mountain. I was too happy and woke up."
Chujin couldn't smile. Why is she so obsessed with money.
Chu Ying also pretended to be very sorry and said, "It's a pity that it's a dream. If only it were true."
Chujin smiled and said, "Do you want to sleep on Jinshan Mountain?"
Today, Chu Ying was going to the governor's house to attend Sun Yunyun's birthday party, so after breakfast, Chu Ying returned to his yard.
Qiu Han wanted to make up for her, but Chu Ying didn't agree. He said, "Just give me a nice hair bun, and I won't make up."
She is 13 years old this year. Her face is full of collagen, and even her lips are powdered. She is young and beautiful, and she doesn't need makeup. After putting on makeup, she felt too mature and unattractive.
Qiu Han explained: "Princess, all the girls attending the banquet today will put on makeup, otherwise you will look out of place."
Chu Ying said confidently, "Why should I follow others? What's more, I am so beautiful. Without makeup, I am the most eye-catching one."
Qiu Han saw that she insisted and didn't persuade again. She also asked you to understand Chu Ying's nature. It's hard to change what you decide.
Chu Ying combed her hair and put on a red Ru skirt. Looking in the mirror, Chu Ying sighed. It is true that people rely on clothes and Buddha depends on gold clothing. Such a gorgeous dress.
Spring Rain whispered: "It's already quarter past two, Princess. We should go now."
Chu Ying was not in a hurry and said, "It will only take two or three quarters of an hour from the royal residence to the Sun's, and we can definitely arrive before lunch."
Spring Rain looked a little worried and said softly, "Princess, it's a good way to show your face to the host to be an early guest."
Chu Ying felt that people in ancient times were too tired to live. They had to consider face and reputation before doing anything. But I have to follow them, because without these two things, I can't do anything.
Because of the hot weather, Chu Ying took her ivory silk palace fan with her. Chu Ying wanted to lean on the carriage when he got on the carriage. When Chun Yu saw it, he said quickly, "You can't lean on it, princess. If you lean on it, you will mess up your hair.
I wanted to lie down, but I was stopped by the spring rain. Her dress is made of gold brocade. If she lies down, her dress will be wrinkled. When I get to the Sun Family, those girls will laugh when they see me.
Hearing this, Chu Ying sighed that beauty also needs to pay a price.
Upon arriving at the Sun Family, Chu Ying had just got out of the carriage when a woman with a round face and a gold hairpin on her head came to meet her: "Princess, please come here."
Chunyu frowned at her and asked, "Are you the one who welcomed the guests today?"
The woman nodded and said, "Today, my eldest daughter only invites several ladies who are close to her. I have been waiting here for the princess and the ladies of all families since the early morning."
Hearing that it was the spring rain she welcomed in, she didn't say anything. It would be impossible to treat people equally without any difference.
The servant wanted to take her to the garden and explained, "My big girl and all the girls are in the garden."
Thinking of Sun Yunyun's preference, Chu Ying asked, "Sister Sun is competing with other girls again, right?"
Sun Yunyun likes to write poems to make mistakes, and also likes to associate with girls with good literary talent. However, this girl is tactful in her way of doing things. Even if she doesn't like Chu Ying, she never shows it. Unlike Cheng Yueyue, everything appears on his face.
"Yes, the girl is writing poems in the garden with some young ladies."
Chu Ying sighed: "If you are not painting or writing poetry, then you cannot compare it with calligraphy or music."
The servant was astonished. She thought Chu Ying would be sad again. After all, what happened before has ruined her reputation. Unexpectedly, she didn't worry about herself, on the contrary, she disliked her girl's poor arrangement. But the servant did not dare to disrespect Chu Ying. The Sun family had strict rules and would be severely punished if they dared to disrespect guests.
At the entrance of the garden, Chu Ying saw Sun Dai.
Sun Dai knew that Chu Ying would come today and wanted to meet her. Unfortunately, I didn't see anyone after waiting for most of the day. I thought she would not come back to the front yard, but unexpectedly I ran into her here.
Looking at the shining Chu Ying, Sun Dai had no joy but worry and anxiety. Because Chu Ying was stupid and timid before, even those ladies and wives with noble status did not consider her. But now Chu Ying has always been timid in the past and has become generous. Those ladies and wives will certainly change their minds. His identity is hard hurt, which is no better than those who are favored by the legitimate family.
Sun Dai was not born to Mrs. Sun, but to Governor Sun's concubine. So even if he was the elder son of Governor Sun, he would not be favored.
After the ceremony, Sun Dai looked up at Chu Ying, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
Although Chu Ying knew that this man was scheming for himself, how could he give him a good face. She gave Sun Dai a cold look, and then asked the servant, "You just said that all the girls were in the garden. So why did your son still appear in the garden?"
The rules here are not as strict as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Young women can also go out and just wear a curtain cap. However, men and women are still closely guarded. Like the birthday party hosted by Sun Yunyun, men are not allowed to appear in the place where the girls play.
Sun Dai hurriedly explained, "Princess, I sent Yunyun a picture. I didn't go in either, so I handed the picture scroll to Yucui a few steps ahead."
This jade is Sun Yunyun's maid.
Chu Ying also refused to pester him, saying, "I will ask Sun Yunyun when I see him. If you say it is true, I will let everyone know."
If it is false, it indicates that the person wants to sneak into the garden to peep at the girl inside. It is said that young girls will have to think twice about coming to the Sun Family's banquet in the future.
Sun Dai changed his face and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Yun Yun."
Chu Ying didn't scare him. When he saw Sun Yunyun in the yard, he asked, "I saw Sun Dai at the gate of the garden just now. He said he was sending you paintings. Is it true?"
Sun Yunyun was shocked to see her, and then tentatively shouted, "Princess..."
Today Chu Ying is wearing a red Ru skirt, a five winged phoenix hairpin with red gold and jade inlaid with ruby, and a long bead chain around her neck. Chu Ying used to be quiet and dressed in plain clothes, but now she is powerful and powerful.
Chu Ying said gloomily, "Why, you can't recognize me? I don't know what's going on recently, but I haven't seen you for more than two months, so it seems that everyone doesn't know me anymore."
As soon as he said this, everyone beside him was shocked.
Chu Ying asked Sun Yunyun, "You haven't said yet. Is Sun Daigang really sending you paintings?"
Sun Yunyun nodded and said, "It's true, but my uncle gave the painting to Yu Cui at the entrance and didn't come into the garden."
What a coincidence? Chu Ying didn't believe her, but Sun Yunyun was arrogant and could not conspire with Sun Dai to plot against her.
