Chapter 282 Raising a Daughter-in-law

After a while, Princess Yongding shook her head gently, secretly thinking that there must be similarities between the two people.

Seeing that Princess Yongding was silent for a long time, Shen Ling couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, is there something wrong?"

A quick smile appeared on Princess Yongding's face: "What's wrong? This is a rare time for me to see such a beautiful porcelain doll. I heard that this girl is very popular with your mother. When your mother held a flower viewing party earlier, , It’s a pity that I am sick, otherwise I would have seen this child long ago.”

Shen Ling nodded and said deliberately: "Niuniu is well-behaved and sensible. My mother loves her so much. She only sees Niuniu and can hardly see me!"

Shen Ling said this because he was afraid that today Shi would meet a frivolous person like the head of Rongjia County who would bully Niu Niu.

Princess Yongding just glanced at Shen Ling when she heard this. Naturally, she could understand her niece's little thoughts. She took off a coral bracelet from her wrist and put it on Niu Niu's wrist without refusal.

Niu Niu immediately looked at Shen Ling.

Shen Ling smiled and said, "Aunt Yongding really likes you, so keep it."

Niu Niu was bewildered and got a red coral bracelet. She couldn't help but glance at Qin Jingshu who was standing aside.

After all, they came in together and only gave her a meeting gift. Niu Niu was afraid that Qin Jingshu would be disappointed.

But Qin Jingshu's expression did not change at all. Instead, she smiled and saluted Princess Yongding.

"You girl, you are always polite. How is your mother doing lately?" Princess Yongding asked with a smile.

Qin Jingshu still looked like she was advancing and retreating in a measured manner: "Please worry, Princess, my mother is well recently, and she asked me to say hello to you."

Princess Yongding nodded: "Your mother is interested."

After a few casual greetings, new guests arrived. They did not stay with Princess Yongding all the time. Instead, a maid pulled them to sit in their seats.

Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu sat side by side and couldn't help but secretly look at her expression.

Qin Jingshu not only allowed Niuniu to look at her, but also asked generously: "Miss Gu, how old are you this year?"

"Six years old, what about you?" Niuniu asked.

"I am also six years old. When are you born?" Qin Jingshu asked.

Niu Niu casually mentioned a date. Her birthday was not a real birthday. In the past, birthdays were not celebrated in the Zhang family. When celebrating birthdays in the Gu family, the day of her old Gu family was used as her birthday.

"Then I'm older than you, can I call you sister?" Qin Jingshu asked softly.

Niu Niu had never seen anyone of the same age as Qin Jingshu. Even though they were all six years old, Qin Jingshu was exceptionally dignified and calm, as if nothing could cause her mood swings.

"You have been secretly sizing me up just now. Do you have anything you want to ask me?" Qin Jingshu asked proactively.

Niu Niu didn't know the rules of these dignitaries. She looked around, lowered her voice and asked, "Why doesn't Princess Yongding give you a meeting gift? I thought this was given to children."

Qin Jingshu looked at Niuniu's innocent and innocent face, with pure curiosity in her eyes. She was not angry because of the question, but explained in a good-tempered way: "This is not the first time that Princess Yongding and I have met. I will give you a greeting gift only for the first time.”

Niuniu looked suddenly enlightened and said sincerely: "Thank you for clarifying my doubts. I almost made a joke."

Qin Jingshu asked: "Do you rarely attend banquets or poetry gatherings?"

Niu Niu nodded and said, "I have participated in these two since I came to the capital."

Niuniu had attended several banquets in Qingshui Village before, but at that time everyone at the dinner table was busy grabbing food and talking louder than anyone else. This kind of banquet is obviously different from those in the capital. Whether it was the last flower appreciation banquet or this poetry meeting, the people who came to participate were all dressed in rich clothes, their faces were calm and calm, and they always spoke softly.

The sense of relaxation of not being chased by life is naturally different from the people in Qingshui Village.

Niu Niu was only six years old and couldn't explain the feeling, but she couldn't help but think that it would be great if the fellow villagers in Qingshui Village could live like this.

"There are many rules in the capital. If you can't remember them, you will easily make people laugh. If you want to learn them, I can teach you." Qin Jingshu said softly.

When Niuniu heard this, the first thing she thought of was not herself, but her father and brothers.

My father is participating in a poetry meeting next door. If he breaks the rules, will he be laughed at?

With this thought in mind, she couldn't help but ask.

After hearing this, Qin Jingshu shook her head and said: "There are differences between men and women. Men just make some mistakes and mess up some rules. Even if others laugh at them, it is only temporary. If they have some achievements in the future, they will still be respected by others. ”

"As long as we girls, we can't make any mistakes."

When Qin Jingshu said this, there was a hint of sadness on her face.

After hearing this, Niu Niu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, then I don't have to worry about my father being laughed at."

Qin Jingshu looked at Niuniu's innocent look and couldn't help but feel envious. Sometimes it seemed like she was lucky to know so little.

Niuniu suddenly patted the back of her hand and said, "Why can't girls make mistakes? My parents said that as long as they don't do anything harmful to nature, they are still good children."

Qin Jingshu envied Niu Niu for being carefully protected by her parents, but she still patiently told Niu Niu the rules taught to her by her mother.

"When girls from wealthy families in the capital take a step or move, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them. If they do something bad or lose their sense of propriety, they will be noticed and remembered in the hearts of those who want to meet them in the future. When you look at other people’s homes, they might find out and affect your marriage.”

After hearing these words, Niu Niu frowned immediately.

"But we were not born for a marriage." Niu Niu said.

Qin Jingshu was stunned when she heard this.

Niu Niu asked again: "It is impossible for people to be born without making mistakes. As long as they correct themselves, it will be fine. It is not a heinous crime. How can someone be unable to turn over for the rest of his life just because he made a fool of himself once?"

Qin Jingshu bit her lower lip tightly.

Although she is precocious and behaves like an adult most of the time, she is actually only six years old. Many principles were forcefully put into her mind by Mrs. Xianguo.

She didn't even have time to think about it.

In other words, Mrs. Xianguo didn't allow her to think about it.

"My mother has always said this, saying that if I make mistakes...then I will not be able to marry in the future...find a good husband..." Qin Jingshu said.

Niuniu's face was full of doubts, she tilted her head and asked: "Don't your mother want you to be more relaxed? Doesn't she want her daughter to be happy?"

Qin Jingshu wanted to give Niu Niu a positive answer, but she didn't even dare to think deeply about the answer to this question.

Niu Niu continued: "I don't know if all mothers in Beijing are like this, but your mother is so strict. It doesn't feel like she is raising a daughter, but like she is raising someone else's daughter-in-law."
