Chapter 256： Golden Phoenix

Chapter 256 Golden Phoenix

Zhang Yunniang carefully took off a few hairpins from Niuniu's head and explained to her sister: "I have asked several ladies before, whether jewelry is more expensive or not. If it is really a head full of pearls and emeralds, I'm afraid someone will still Ridicule is parvenu.”

Liu Xiaoru was an obedient person and hurriedly helped to take off the jewelry.

"Sister is right, Niuniu can't be ridiculed for being a nouveau riche! She is still young, and if she remembers it, it may leave a mark in her heart for the rest of her life."

Liu Xiaoru added: "Sister, those ladies in our house are quite nice people. They told you as soon as you asked them, and they didn't laugh at us."

When Zhang Yuniang heard Liu Xiaoru talk about this, her face became a little sad.

After the previous Mrs. Qian followed Mrs. Li's suggestion, her husband sent her cousin back to her hometown the next day. Although her mother-in-law had many opinions, she could not bear the thought that this matter would involve her son's future.

Mrs. Qian also took in several good-looking concubines for her husband. She firmly held the concubine's contract of sale, which not only captured her husband's heart, but also ensured that these concubines would not cause any trouble.

Mrs. Qian resolved the fatal situation. She reciprocated the favor and introduced several clients to Zhang Yunniang. Originally, she was just helping these housebound women to take care of their bodies.

But the poor health of women at home is mostly related to their mood.

The more Zhang Yuniang got involved, she discovered that the lives of these wives may not be as smooth as hers. Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, natal family, husband, and children all had problems somewhere, and their depression led to physical problems. It's getting worse.

If people like them cannot cure their heart disease, the methods provided by Zhang Yunniang can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Why does sister look sad?" Liu Xiaoru asked.

Niu Niu on the side looked at her mother immediately when she heard this.

Zhang Yunniang sighed and said: "The more people enter the big house, the more I feel that our daughter's family has a hard life. It is really difficult for everything to go smoothly."

Liu Xiaoru was not as thoughtful as she was, but said: "Sister, what do you want to do so much? As long as our family lives well, this is more important than anything else."

Niu Niu was also holding her mother's hand: "Don't be unhappy about other people's affairs."

Zhang Yunniang touched her daughter's head and said, "I just sigh in vain. In the end, I can't help with anything."

"You are doing things to help people every day, no matter how big or small it is, you are amazing!" Niu Niu was still her little praising group.

Zhang Yuniang seemed to have suddenly figured it out. She touched her daughter's little head and said, "That's right. No matter how big or small the matter is, just do your best."

The Gu family divided into two carriages and were blocked before they reached the entrance of the princess's mansion.

The entire street in front of the princess's mansion was filled with carriages, all coming to attend the flower viewing party.

The Gu family thought they would have to wait a long time, but Shen Changfeng's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.

"Master, Master, Aunt Liu, and Niuniu, there are too many people in front of us, and the carriage won't be able to get in for a while. Why don't you come down and walk a few steps, and you can change into a sedan chair and drive us out after entering the main entrance." Shen Changfeng suggested.

The Gu family was born in the countryside and didn't have many rules. When they heard this, they got off the carriage seriously.

Shen Changfeng led the way diligently, leading several people in through the wide open main entrance of the Princess Mansion.

Little did he know that in the carriage lined up on one side, Mrs. Xianguo was telling her daughter: "Miss, please behave appropriately. You must not imitate those small and small households and walk in directly in front of the public."

Qin Jingshu knew who her mother was mocking. Just when her mother opened the curtain of the carriage, she saw the Gu family.

The previous dispute between the two families at the city gate was finally resolved with the family losing face. Even though Gu Mingda helped his eldest brother several times during the trial, his mother still didn't seem to like that family.

Qin Jingshu actually envied them.

A large family was together and the beautiful Niu Niu, who was about the same age as him, had just been held in Gu Mingda's arms. The intimate atmosphere of parents and children was not just fake.

"Mom, I remember, I usually take the curtain with me when I go out." Qin Jingshu said softly.

Mrs. Xianguo glanced at her daughter, suddenly her brows furrowed again, and she couldn't help but reach out and fiddle with her daughter's hair. Qin Jingshu was too frightened to move. She lowered her neck slightly and allowed her mother to move.

Until the little girl felt her neck was sore, Mrs. Xian Guogong finally felt satisfied and looked at her daughter up and down: "Okay, this is the eldest lady of our Duke Xian's mansion. Among the little girls who came today, there is no one else." More beautiful than you."

Qin Jingshu forced a smile. She thought about the Niu Niu she had just met. She was about the same age as her, and now she could tell that she was a beauty. In her heart, she actually did not feel that she was more beautiful than Niu Niu.

"Men and women have different seats at the age of seven. If you meet a young master who is about your age, you must remember to avoid suspicion." Mrs. Xianguo warned again.

Hearing this, Qin Jingshu lowered her head to cover up the embarrassment on her face. She was only six years old, so her mother's words made her sound like she was a disorderly person.

"Don't let something like last time happen. You have to remember your identity." Mrs. Xianguo said with a cold face.

Qin Jingshu whispered: "Don't worry, mother, I know what's going on."

What happened last time was just a few words between her and her aunt's eight-year-old nephew, which made her mother lose her temper.

Mrs. Xianguo then said: "I am doing this all for your own good. When I was pregnant with you, I asked the imperial concubine to see me in private because of the relationship with Concubine Li in the palace. The imperial advisor pointed at my belly at that time. He said, "A golden phoenix will fly out of our palace. You are destined to fly to the nine heavens, why do you need to be with those dusts."

After hearing these repeated words, Qin Jingshu just replied: "Mom, I understand, I will be careful in my words and actions."

Qin Jingshu is only six years old. No matter how precocious she is, she can't think too far ahead. Compared with the future glory and wealth, she naturally cares more about the warmth that can be touched in front of her.

Mrs. Xianguo enjoyed the feeling of suppressing the future queen very much, and said: "Speak softer, don't be tough."

Qin Jingshu said it again helplessly.

"I will meet the eldest princess later. Do you remember all the words I taught you?" Mrs. Xianguo continued to teach her daughter.

Niu Niu at this end had already entered the eldest princess's mansion, saw the sedan chair waiting on the side, and looked at the blooming flowers on both sides of the road.

"Do you have to sit here?" Niu Niu asked Shen Changfeng.

"You don't like riding in a sedan chair?" Shen Changfeng asked.

Niuniu said: "I want to go shopping while walking, is that okay?"

Shen Changfeng thought for a while, there were too many guests here today, and his mother only arranged for him to accompany the Gu family, so he was not in a hurry.

"Niuniu, this is my home. What is the relationship between the two of us? As long as master and mother agree, of course I will follow you." Shen Changfeng said.

The Gu family has always loved Niu Niu, and it was rare that her request was not for sweets. They were not nobles living in a deep house, so it was okay to walk a few steps.

Niu Niu got down from Gu Mingda's arms, took Shen Changfeng's hand, and skipped forward.

Walking all the way, stopping and going, is much slower than riding in a sedan chair.

The Gu family originally entered the princess's mansion very early, but it was quite late to meet the eldest princess.

When we walked to the main hall, we made two groups, one for male guests and the other for female guests.

Shen Changfeng no longer accompanied Niu Niu, but handed them over to an old nun beside the eldest princess and was guided to visit the eldest princess.

Before Niu Niu entered the house, she heard the voices of women talking inside.

As soon as she stepped in, she happened to see a beautiful little girl about her own age, bowing to the eldest princess gracefully.

"My little daughter Qin Jingshu pays homage to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. I wish the eldest princess a long and happy life."
