Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 122 Tanabata
At that time, Zhuhua was thinking about Tang Shui, and of course she was also thinking about making poems. She was in a trance, and suddenly someone asked in her ear: "You really didn't write that poem?"

Zhuhua was startled, but at the same time she thought that all the poems she attended the party were written by herself, and she didn't copy any of them. She was afraid that her copying would affect the future of the poets of the Kang Dynasty who were about to become famous.When she realized that it was Fang Jiulang, Zhuhua frowned slightly, didn't she ask this before, why did she continue to ask?It's been half a year, why is he still obsessed with this matter, will he remember it for too long?

"Really not." She said solemnly.

"But I've never read it from a book." Fang Jiulang said doubtfully, looking at her coldly, as if to say, could it be that he reads fewer books than she does?
"It's all miscellaneous books, just... miscellaneous books!" Zhuhua couldn't just say that it was a book, as a standard official lady, she shouldn't read these books, but there were many people who read them in private, and Fang Qiniang also read them. Seen.

Fang Jiulang immediately understood, pursed his lips lightly, then lowered his voice and asked again: "Which book is it, I'll go and have a look."

"I forgot." Zhuhua said with some embarrassment, for fear that he would really go to a miscellaneous book to verify it. If he had known, she would have made it up and said that it was said by people from all corners of the world.

Fang Jiulang was silent for a moment, seeing that the paper on which Zhuhua wrote the poem was still blank, he was too embarrassed to disturb her.When he left after paying his respects, he suddenly asked again: "I have many collections of poetry, do you want to read them?"

"If it's not troublesome." Zhuhua said reluctantly, thinking to herself, is he disliking her for her poor poetry writing?
"No trouble." He replied immediately.

"Thank you very much." Zhuhua bowed her body, raised her eyes and saw the corner of his mouth slightly raised, it should have happened in an instant, she thought she was wrong.

"Miss, miss, tell me..." Qiu Chu also saw it, and as soon as the person left, she eagerly came over and wanted to say something.

Zhuhua glared at her, "I won't take you out from now on..."

Qiu Chu knew it right away, and bowed his head dejectedly and retreated.Zhuhua held on to the pen, looked at the white paper, took a deep breath for a long time to settle down, wrote a poem on the paper and handed it in.As usual, her poems are not among the best.To everyone's surprise, Fang Jiulang's poems were not top-notch, and he didn't even hand in the poems within the stipulated time, which aroused a lot of discussion.When others talked about this, their eyes always turned to Zhuhua, and even Fang Jiulang seemed to glance at her from the corner of his eye.

Zhuhua pretended not to know, and made up her mind that she would never come to such a poetry meeting again.

Because Sun couldn't spare time to look after her, she asked her to hang out more with young ladies and gentlemen of the same age. She was not afraid that Zhuhua would become another Yinhua.Zhuhua was so reassuring, but Sun did not know how to arrange it for her. She had mentioned several places to Zhuhua before, and Zhuhua's reaction was all right, as long as you think it is good.She felt that her youngest daughter didn't care about her life's major events at all, but she was kind to her sisters.Mrs. Sun always thought that Zhuhua was still young and hadn't awakened yet, so she thought that if she walked around with young men and women more, she might become enlightened.

It's just that after May, Zhuhua didn't go out for several months, which made Sun secretly surprised.Sun took the time to ask Zhuhua, and Zhuhua said calmly that it was because it was too hot to go out, and her skin was already dark, and she couldn't bask in the sun in summer.Naturally, Mrs. Sun would not doubt such a legitimate reason. It was not until Qixi Festival, when Fang Qiniang posted another post to invite Zhuhua to see the lantern, but Zhuhua still wanted to go back, and Mrs. Sun became suspicious.

"Just wait..." Mrs. Sun stopped Qiu Chu who was going to reply, looked at her daughter seriously, and asked, "Okay, why don't you go out?"

"Looking at the lights is really boring. There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, so it's more comfortable for me to stay at home."

"The truth?"

"That's the truth. Besides, I don't know when my eldest sister's stomach will start, so I don't feel relieved to go out."

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth, your eldest sister won't give birth in another month. Even if she is going to give birth, what's the use of keeping you, a little girl who hasn't left the court?"

"Mother, it's a shame for you to say that. When you gave birth to your intestines, I did a lot of hard work. Now you say I'm useless?" Zhuhua complained aggrievedly.

"Don't change the subject. Why don't you want to go out, don't you be bullied?" Sun looked at her with some disgust. How could her daughter be bullied?
"How can it be? It's really boring to eat and drink and write poems. It's more tiring than learning the rules from Mother Wang. I won't marry into a civil servant's family. What can I do with a group of civil servants? ?”

"I remember the last time a lady from the military attache's family invited you out to ride a horse, but you didn't go?"

"Every time they go out with a newcomer, they will always have a race to give others a big blow. I am not as good at riding a horse as my eldest sister, and I will be ashamed if I go. That's fine. If I accidentally fall off the horse and become crippled , I may spend the rest of my life in bed. It took me a long time to recover, but I can't get sick anymore."

The military officers in Beijing are all somewhat savage, and the Cheng family has been in the limelight recently, and they will inevitably be targeted, and Zhuhua doesn't want to bump into her and be abused.

"You've thought it through quite clearly." Mrs. Sun snorted coldly.

"That's right." Zhuhua replied with a smug face, only when Mrs. Sun was really praising her.

Sun rolled her eyes and sighed, "Forget it, if you don't want to go, don't go. I will ask your father to ask his men to come over for a drink tomorrow. I don't believe I can't pick a good one."

"Just those rich kids?"

Now Cheng Dashan has been transferred to the Chinese Army to take charge of the commander-in-chief. He has 5 troops under his command and is responsible for the security of the capital.Originally, the person in charge of the Central Army was the emperor's confidant. This person had something to do with the case of Zhen Guohou the year before last. The emperor demoted him, and this position became vacant.At that time, many people wanted to get this position, but after going around, Yang Chengjian was undecided. It was not until the beginning of the year that Yang Chengjian gave this position to Cheng Dashan, who had just returned from other places and rested for a few months. Lieutenant General.

Cheng Dashan's ability is limited, and Yang Chengjian is also aware of it, so the lieutenants he appointed for him are all extremely capable, but they can't stand out for a while due to the burden of the family.Cheng Dashan has always been a man who would not compete with others, and Yu Hou asked him to discuss matters in the army more with these two lieutenants, and he did so without thinking about why.Now the Chinese army is very harmonious, he seems to have nothing to worry about, but there are quite a few people who invite him to drink, and some want to marry him.However, he pushed all the matters of getting married to Mrs. Sun, so as not to pick a bad person and be blamed in the future.

Many of the people who drank with Cheng Dashan were from rich families who had experienced in the military. They wanted to get some jobs that would make them look good in front of the emperor, and they always praised Cheng Dashan.Cheng Dashan also knew it in his heart, and privately told his family not to answer anyone's request.Mrs. Sun also despises those who are unwilling to do things down-to-earth, and she is really unwilling to recruit her as her son-in-law.

Clicking her tongue irritably, she stared at Zhuhua coldly.

Zhuhua was afraid that Mrs. Sun would make an irreversible decision on the spur of the moment, so she immediately changed her mind and said flatteringly: "Mother, you said that to go to see the lanterns on Qixi Festival, what clothes will my daughter look good on?"

"Didn't you make new clothes a few days ago? The material is still good and your elder sister gave it to you. Just wear that."

"Yes, my daughter thinks the same way." Zhuhua said obediently.

Only then did Mrs. Sun let go of her temper, stood up and said: "You pick and choose again, if you don't have any, you can make more clothes. Isn't your shop very profitable, and you can't afford to make a few clothes? I have to go to Jinhua to see Look, I'm afraid that if I don't stare at her for a while, she will steal it again."

"I have to keep an eye on it. If she eats too much, she should practice boxing again." Zhuhua added, in order to let Mrs. Sun leave early, she even betrayed her eldest sister.

"Yes, yes, this girl, if she dares to hurt my grandson, I will let her know how bad it is."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhuhua agreed, and sent Mrs. Sun out of the house, and exchanged glances with Qiuchu after she was far away.

"Miss, are you going?" Qiuchu said expectantly.

Although Zhuhua has avoided Fang Qiniang's appointment for several months, rumors about her and Fang Jiulang still spread.Of course, because this matter has not been filmed yet, everyone will discuss it in private, and all they know are those young ladies who often go out with them and people who are interested in Fang Jiulang. The people in Cheng's mansion don't know about it, except for Zhuhua and Qiuchu.

At the beginning of autumn, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, he always urged Zhuhua to agree to the appointment, and always put Fang Jiulang's poetry collection in front of Zhuhua.

"If you were put in another house, you would have been beaten up by the mistress and sold out." Zhuhua threatened.

Qiuchu didn't say much, just passed Zhuhua holding a collection of poems from time to time.Zhuhua didn't tell her that there was a volume in the poetry collection that belonged to Fang Jiulang, and I don't know if he misplaced it or did it on purpose.She couldn't stand the implicit expressions of the ancients, and wished Fang Jiulang could explain it to her immediately, so that she could stop his thoughts immediately.The Fang family has a lot of adults, so it's not the one she wants to marry. She still wants to marry a man from a poor family, and it's more suitable for someone like her who can't get rid of the street style.

On the day of Qixi Festival, Zhuhua went out wearing a flowery and fragrant cloud gauze skirt made of material Jinhua gave her, and combed her bun with ingots.She originally wanted to take out the pearl headband that got hit by someone last year and wear it, but after thinking about it, the origin of the headgear is still very suspicious, maybe it is dirty, otherwise why would it be given to her casually, she should be careful not to keep it. Wear it out well.Thinking in this way, she put on another set of silver headgear inlaid with yellow gemstones, and when she dressed up and went out, the Yinhua in the yard caught her eye.

"Zhuhua, the color of this dress is beautiful."

"The material sent by the eldest sister is naturally better than the one we bought ourselves. Second sister, what about yours?"

"I haven't done it yet."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Zhuhua went out.After she left, Yinhua realized that it was rare to see Zhuhua dressed up so neatly, it was almost dinner, where was she going?Regardless of her age, she is going to be engaged, maybe she has a sweetheart, no, when Zhuhua comes back at night, she must ask Qiuchu, Yinhua thought excitedly.

Zhuhua didn't know that her second sister was already at home expecting her to go back, and she was riding a carriage to the appointed restaurant.Entering the private room they reserved in advance, Zhuhua saw Fang Qiniang and Fang Jiulang inside.

"Sister Azhu, you're here." After the two got acquainted, Fang Qiniang's address for her changed.

Fang Qiniang greeted her affectionately, then turned her head to look at Fang Jiulang who was sitting beside him drinking tea seriously, and secretly smiled.After she pulled Zhuhua to sit down on the chair next to Fang Jiulang, she suddenly said, "I ordered one less dish just now, I'll go to the kitchen and tell you."

After saying that, she took the girl out of the house, with a black thread on her hair, thinking to herself, can this play be more fake.

She took her seat, and without looking at Fang Jiulang, she held the incense fan and shook it gently.After a while, Fang Qiniang's girl called Qiu Chu out.Zhuhua's previous threat was still effective, Qiuchu glanced at Zhuhua anxiously, but did not dare to walk away, Zhuhua nodded slightly at her, and she left.Zhuhua waited for Qiuchu to leave, instead she calmed down, picked up the tea on the side, took a sip slowly, and turned her head to meet Shang Jiulang's gaze calmly.

Fang Jiulang was taken aback, then turned his head and looked out the window.At the beginning, he remembered Zhuhua because of her quietness, sitting among a group of chattering sisters dressed in fancy dress, she was the only one who didn't say a word, and even smiled calmly.Later he found out that she was Cheng San, and he wanted to know but didn’t want to. Among the officials involved in the reconstruction of Chang’an City, the only high-ranking official with the surname Cheng was Cheng Dashan, and many officials at that time mentioned that it was Miss Cheng San who first mentioned the planting of plane trees. The nameplate on the tree is also the same, so the poem used for demonstration is also very likely to be written by her.Although she repeatedly said that she read the poem from other places, and that the poems she usually writes are not talented at all, he decided that she wrote them.

Zhuhua is so different, she must have something special, but other people can't see it, although he still doesn't know what her special thing is, but there must be something.Thinking this way, Fang Jiulang also gave him a reason to look at her. She had never discovered it before, which made him feel relieved and regretful.He didn't know what he was regretting, until he heard other people's comments, he suddenly understood.

Before he could recover from the shock, his always noisy sister came to tease him. For the first time, he was at a loss for what she said, and he couldn't even talk back.Fang Qiniang didn't understand anything, so she patted him on the shoulder immediately.

"Brother, it will be Qixi Festival in a few days, and then I will invite sister Azhu out, and the two of you will have a chat alone."

"It's unreasonable!"

"Then I won't make an appointment?" Fang Qiniang asked with a smirk on purpose.

Fang Jiulang frowned slightly, and said firmly, "It's okay to just come out to enjoy the lantern."

Fang Qiniang snickered and nodded seriously, "Yes, brother is right."

But when it was time to meet, Fang Qiniang still left Xia Jiulang and ran away. She never thought that Zhuhua might not be willing. Her brother is so good. There are many women in Chang'an who want to marry him. I don't know how many there were in the past. The woman showed her affection to her just to take the opportunity to get close to Fang Jiulang, and so did her cousins.Even though Mother had already said that she would not look for them among her close relatives, they were not discouraged, and ran to Fang's house whenever they found an opportunity. Fang Qiniang never liked them coming.She likes Zhuhua, she is easy to talk and can cook all kinds of delicious food, but she doesn't like to go out very much, and she can't ask her out recently.
