Chapter 61 The So-called Fame

Shen Mingjiao pulled Cui Lingling out of the yard.After walking far away, Cui Lingling took a deep breath and seemed to come back to life all of a sudden.Her straight back collapsed, and she tilted towards Shen Mingjiao as if she had no bones.

Shen Mingjiao glanced at her angrily, "Aren't you pretending to be a lady?"

After finishing speaking, he pushed the person away in disdain: "You are so skinny that you only have a handful of bones left. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

Cui Lingling pouted, straightened up and touched her arm: "How can it be so exaggerated! I eat on time, okay?"

"And don't you ladies all advocate thinness for beauty?"

Shen Mingjiao retorted bluntly: "Then have you ever heard that the king of Chu has a thin waist and starved to death in the palace?"

Although Cui Lingling didn't know who the King of Chu was, she could probably understand what she meant.She drooped her eyebrows and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road.

"But my mother said that as a noble daughter of ours, I should refrain from eating, and I can only eat a little bit every meal!"

Speaking of this, she also seemed to feel aggrieved.

This Shen Mingjiao knows that girls in their circle, when they go out to a banquet, their behavior and demeanor are definitely the same as the standard.

Take eating as an example. Dozens of people sit together to eat, and only the slight collision of bowls and chopsticks can be heard.

As for how much they can eat, let’s put it this way, each chopstick can hold no more than ten grains of rice, and only two white teeth are exposed, and then put it into the mouth with small mouthfuls, and chew lightly with closed lips, without a trace of chewing being heard the whole time the sound of.

That's it.It's impossible to get full,

However, this is usually only done in public places. If you eat like this on a daily basis, you may die of starvation or starvation.

She looked at Cui Lingling in disbelief, "Don't tell me, you eat like this every meal?"

Cui Lingling nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, my sister said that if I eat like this, my mother will be happy when she sees it."

Shen Mingjiao supported her forehead weakly: "Do you also believe this?"

"By the way, why didn't you see Tong Yuyao just now?"

"My sister went to find the little sister she usually made friends with. My mother said that I am not young, and she brought me with me so that it is convenient for me to meet and talk about marriage."

When it came to her own marriage, her tone was very natural, apparently she hadn't quite figured it out yet.

Shen Mingjiao's eyes flashed, and she asked suspiciously: "I remember you seem to have a baby kiss who married you from the pulp of your finger, right?"

Cui Lingling didn't realize how she knew such secret news.Casually said:

"You're talking about the marriage with the Duke of Lu's mansion, right? My sister said that he and the young man of the Duke of Lu's mansion were childhood sweethearts, and begged me to let her get married."

Shen Mingjiao: "Don't tell me you just agreed!"

Cui Lingling replied as a matter of course: "I don't know that little father-in-law. Besides, he and my sister are childhood sweethearts. Since my sister likes it, let her do it."

She doesn't think there is anything, a fiancé who has never met, how can family be important.

Shen Mingjiao took a deep breath, and looked at her seriously:
"Lingling, the Duke of Lu's mansion is a family that has been farming and studying for a hundred years, and the family style is upright, and the young man of the Duke of Lu's mansion has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he is a leader among his peers. Men in the Duke's Mansion have a rule of forty to have no children before they can take concubines, so Lingling, are you sure you want to give such a good marriage to Tong Yuyao?"

Cui Lingling was stunned when she heard that, even if she was no longer enlightened about the relationship between men and women, she still knew how rare it is to have a concubine at forty.

She suddenly thought that such a good marriage, but the whole family just asked her to give it to their sister without even thinking about it. It was obvious that she was their real blood relative.

She stood in a daze for a while, feeling a little dazed for a moment, but it seemed that something was gradually collapsing in her heart.

Shen Mingjiao secretly sighed, knowing that she should not be forced too hard, she took her arm: "Let's go, I heard that the back garden of Pei Mansion is very beautiful, let's go and have a look together."

The two chatted while walking, along the way, they met many ladies and wives who came to the banquet.

When they saw Shen Mingjiao, they couldn't hide their astonishment, not because of her looks, but also because of the clothes she wore today.

Someone couldn't help but stepped forward and asked Shen Mingjiao where did she buy her clothes?Shen Mingjiao smiled and said that she bought it in the Pretty Pavilion.

The person who asked the question obviously didn't believe it. After all, as we all know, Pretty Pavilion is almost a ready-made clothing store that is about to close down.

Shen Mingjiao said that in a few months the Beautiful Pavilion will reopen, and then there will be good-looking clothes.

Just when the other party was dubious, someone recognized her identity.She exclaimed in a low voice, "Concubine Su",
The person who asked the question turned pale at that moment, and was about to kneel down tremblingly.The few people who were curious and came over also backed away with horror on their faces.

Shen Mingjiao: "..."

Knowing that she has a bad reputation, she didn't expect her to be as bad as Zhi Xiaoer Yeti!

She finally realized belatedly that with her notoriety, would anyone really dare to buy the clothes she designed by herself in the future?

……

So much so that she lowered her head and pondered for the rest of the journey, thinking about how to save her reputation.At this time, the two came to the back garden of Pei Mansion.

Cui Lingling poked her arm, and softly shouted: "Isn't that Sister Danxue?"

Cui Lingling has always been acquainted with Gu Danxue, although she has only been with Gu Danxue for less than a day before, she unilaterally agrees that the two are friends.

Shen Mingjiao followed Cui Lingling's line of sight, and there was a group of seven or eight gorgeously dressed ladies sitting in a gazebo not far away.The leader was Xu Ningyue, while Gu Danxue stood with her head lowered among them, being pushed back and forth by two noble girls,

Xu Ningyue looked at Gu Danxue who was in a mess at this time, and her heart was distorted. She leaned on the recliner and smiled contemptuously:
"Gu Danxue, you are really cheeky. My aunt told you not to come, why didn't you listen?"

Gu Danxue broke away from the two noble girls who were pushing her, pursed her lips and said nothing.

She really didn't intend to come.The second aunt told her since she was a child that she was ugly, so she had nothing to do to attend some banquets, so as not to lose the face of Ningyuan Houfu.

But she inadvertently learned that the last time Princess Su sent her a post to invite him to Jinxiufang, but was stopped by the second aunt on the way.

When she heard the news, she was very angry. She still remembered that day when she quietly went to add makeup to Shen Mingjiao with the Liuyun Jin that she had hidden for a long time. It was a day when she rarely felt leisurely and happy.

She rushed into the main courtyard and wanted to question her second aunt, but after meeting the eyes of the other party looking over with all her courage, her physical instincts made her feel shy.

She will come today, but she just wants to say sorry to Concubine Su herself.

Seeing that Gu Danxue still dared to break free, the two noble girls immediately stepped forward and pushed her fiercely, then raised their feet and rubbed hard on her clean skirt.

"It's still a guess, I guess it's because I'm afraid I won't be able to get married, so I came to find a man!"

"Tch, just like her, no man wants to strip her naked..."

After speaking, the few people covered their mouths and laughed lowly. Before the laughter fell, they heard a lazy and soft female voice:

"A man who opens his mouth and keeps his mouth shut, is this the upbringing of a girl from Hanlin Mansion?"
