Chapter 77: I'm a pretty lady

Early the next morning.
Nan Baoyi was properly dressed and dressed, and got on the carriage to Xia Mansion.
The three sisters are there, and the carriage is very lively.
Nan Baozhu was eating sugar cake, and somehow she mentioned Nan Baorong’s marriage: "Zhang Yuan looked at people like dogs, but it’s actually really unreliable. If you want me to tell me, it’s a matter of my eldest sister retiring from him. Quite right thing."
Nan Baoyi was full of curiosity.
After the cousin helped the eldest sister last time, he was busy doing business in Jiangnan.
Now that half a year has passed, I don't know how the two are progressing, which is really worrying.
She tentatively said: "My eldest sister will be married this year, so she should be ready to marry. Is there someone who has a close relationship?"
Nan Baorong grabbed her handkerchief in embarrassment, "You are both little girls, how can you talk about marriage? It's against women's way to talk about this..."
"My mother said, women are all done for others. How can a good reputation be more important than your own comfort?" Nan Baozhu said plausibly, "Big sister, you are also big and young, you should look at others!"
Nan Baoyi couldn't help but laugh.
The second aunt was born in a dart board, and she has a bold personality, so naturally she doesn't think that feminine style is a good thing.
Perhaps this kind of thinking was apostate, but she quietly felt that the second aunt was right!
She smiled: "Big sister, my cousin is also considered a young talent, and there are not a few girls who covet him, you have to hurry up!"
Nan Baorong was stunned.
At first she just blushed her ears, and gradually her cheeks were red.
She lowered her head, like a shy water lotus with a cold breeze.
Nan Baoyi watched, secretly rejoicing.
If a girl blushes when she hears the name of a certain teenager, then she must like that teenager very much.
Big sister and cousin, there is a show!
The carriage stopped outside the summer house.
The second aunt came out of the other carriage and greeted them: "The Xia Mansion handles wine, and there are people everywhere. You must follow me, don't run around, let alone get into trouble."
The three of them responded.
Nan Baoyi stepped into the threshold and quietly looked around.
The Xia Mansion is spacious and luxurious, with courtyard verandas, pavilions and pavilions, and gardens flowing water, all of which are exquisite.
Every few steps will meet business partners, the second aunt greets in front, they obediently greet each other with the little girl next to each other.
I finally walked to the flower hall where the female relatives were. Before I even went in, I heard laughter from inside:
"I have long heard that the Nan Rouge girl is beautiful, she is a rare and wonderful person in Shu County. I saw it today, as expected! Even if you stand with the three prostitutes of the Nan family, I am afraid that the Nan Roe girl is even better! I don't know! Does a girl say a kiss? I love to be a matchmaker in life, and there are several rich boys waiting to lead the red line!"
Nan Baoyi raised an eyebrow.
She looked at her second aunt, her face was gloomy, and she was obviously angry.
She knew that their daughters from Nanfu didn't go out to socialize much in recent years, but Nan Yan, who was sitting around the banquet with the identity of a girl outside Nanfu, was not too shy.
The world regards thinness as beauty, and most admire thin beauties with poems and books.
Nan Yan's appearance is beautiful and weak, coupled with gentle talk, it can also attract a lot of good impressions.
Therefore, many people in Shu County only know that Nanfu's maid is outstanding and talented, but they think that Nanfu's maid is stupid and clumsy.
Nan Yan's delicate voice came out:
"Marriage matters are the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Yan'er dare not talk about herself, thank you aunt for kindness!"
Nan Baoyi is funny.
Nan Yan's eyes are high!
If the aunt who led the red line introduced her to the son of the county guard of Cheng De's kind, she would probably hold the veil and answer innocently: "Auntie, please discuss with my mother, Yan'er dare not say anything." .
But the people in the hall praised Nan Yan for being knowledgeable.
There are even people who regret that she does not have a good identity, otherwise it would be her who made the marriage with the Cheng family.
The second aunt stepped into the threshold and made a loud voice: "I don't know, you are so concerned about my Nan family?"
The discussion immediately died down.
Those present were all relatives who had died with Xia’s family, and there were also some wealthy merchants, many of whom had never seen the prostitutes in Nanfu.
They looked carefully at the three sisters.
The boss is dignified and elegant like a beautiful flower shining in the water, the second child is round and jade-run just like the Tang Taizhen, the third is the most wonderful, the young girl of the golden hairpin, charming and not charming, gorgeous and not vulgar, like a delicate hibiscus with dew in the sun, one glance Looking at it, my eyes are like washing.
Compared with Nan Yan, she is beautiful but beautiful, but she reveals the craftsmanship and charm of meticulous craftsmanship, lacking the innocence and delicacy of a girl.
The concubine and the concubine, see you immediately.
Nan Yan lowered her eyes.
She knows people's hearts well and naturally understands what these people's eyes mean.
With jealousy across her eyes, she whispered to Xia Qingqing: "We have to find an opportunity to ask Nan Baoyi where your cousin has gone."
Xia Qingqing nodded and stood up and said: "This is boring, Nan Baoyi, I will take you to the back garden to play. Now it is the season of hibiscus flowers blooming, my father spent a lot of money to buy a rare hibiscus, let's go and enjoy it. "
Jinguan City has the reputation of "Furong City".
Legend has it that in the post-Shu period, Emperor Meng Chang preferred hibiscus flowers and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees on the city walls. During the blooming season, Jinguan City was forty miles beautiful, so it was known as the "Furong City".
Later, in the golden autumn season, playing hibiscus became a custom here.
Nan Baoyi and other young girls went to the back garden with Xia Qingqing.
There is a sandalwood flower stand in the center of the garden, and a sterling silver flowerpot is placed on the flower stand. Sure enough, a half-human hibiscus is planted in the flowerpot.
The hibiscus flower is as big as a bowl, with overlapping petals, and it is pure white and moving.
"This is called Yinsi Lotus. It was bought by my father for five thousand taels of silver. There is nothing outside!" Xia Qingqing glanced at Nan Baoyi triumphantly, "Do you have such an expensive Lotus in your house?"
As we all know, Nanjia is not able to read and write, and will not even appreciate the strange flowers and plants. It is very vulgar!
When everyone was waiting to read the joke, Nan Baoyi sneered and said, "This kind of bowl-shaped hibiscus is really rare... But bowl-shaped gardenias and peony flowers are everywhere! Miss Xia, you are afraid. It was pitted by the gardener!"
"You--" Xia Qingqing was angry, "You are not worthy of admiring famous flowers!"
Nan Baoyi grimaced at her.
After admiring the silver silk hibiscus, the girls went to play with the handkerchiefs they had made in twos and threes. Nan Baorong was fragile, and Nan Baozhu helped her to hug her and rest in the distance.
Nan Baoyi knew that Xia Qingqing and Nan Yan had something to ask her.
So she walked unhurriedly into a remote alley of wisteria flowers.
After not going far, Xia Qingqing's voice came from behind:
"Nan Baoyi, stop for me!"
Nan Baoyi turned around, "Is something wrong with me?"
Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth: "Have you seen my cousin?!"
"Cousin?"
"Bowen Xia, the one with all the pussies!"
Nan Baoyi was at a loss, "I am a lady who is knowledgeable and respectful and abides by the rules. How can I meet foreign men?"
