Mrs. Hou was really angry now, "You, Nanny An, take your young lady down to kneel in the ancestral hall, and you are not allowed to give her food. When you admit your mistake, you will give me food!"

Qiao Jinniang picked up the head on the ground, "It's a pity, I don't know if it can be repaired."

Qiao Ruoshui was punished and said unconvinced, "Mother, do you know how I was laughed at by those princesses in the prince's mansion yesterday?

What did you say that I want to be a sister with the daughter raised by the servant, so that I will not be contaminated with the atmosphere of a slave in the future..."

Madam Hou patted the table and said: "Which noble lady said that? I'd like to go to their house to ask, how did you raise your daughter?

I would like to see, in Chang'an City, who dares to say such irresponsible remarks to the eldest daughter of Anyuanhou's mansion! "

Qiao Ruoshui said unconvinced: "Even if they don't say it on the face, they can see clearly in their hearts that the daughter is going to enter the East Palace, and there is a sister who was raised by a servant, so her daughter's reputation is not good.

There are so many Zhuangzi in the Zuohou Hou Mansion, why should they bring her back and live at home! "

The more Mrs. Hou listened, the more annoyed she became. She was afraid that Qiao Jinniang would be wronged by hearing this, so she held Qiao Jinniang's hand again and again, "You have been wronged, don't listen to her nonsense like a child, no matter who raised you, you are a good daughter of your mother." .”

Qiao Jinniang smiled relievedly, "I don't mind, it's too late for me to be happy. After my parents left, I thought that no one in this world would love me anymore. Now I have my parents, my grandmother, my sister Ruoyi, and my sister Ruoyun. There is no reason to feel wronged."

Qiao Jinniang could see Madam Hou's sincerity towards her, and Qiao Ruoyun's desire to make up for her guilt.

With this, it is enough.

As for some people who are mean-spirited, she just ignores them.

Simply don't take it to heart.

Seeing that Qiao Jinniang was so sensible, Mrs. Hou hated Qiao Ruoshui even more, and even asked the nanny to take her down to kneel in the ancestral hall.

"Mother."

From outside came the voice of a soft child with a milky voice.

Qiao Jinniang looked over, and saw a pink and jade-carved young man in a red round-neck robe trotting towards him, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Qiao Jinniang.

Mrs. Hou said: "A Li, this is your eldest sister."

Mr. Xiao Lang sweetly called Big Sister.

Qiao Jinniang was twelve years older than this younger brother, and motioned for Nuomi to bring a gold and jade-encrusted longevity lock, and gave it to the younger brother.

Mrs. Hou said: "You have prepared so many gifts, I'm afraid it will cost you money. In the afternoon, mother will take you to Chang'an City to buy some clothes and jewelry."

"Mother, the mansion has already prepared a lot."

"That's not enough. Spring is just right now, so I should dress brighter. If Ruoyi has nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go together."

Qiao Ruoyi responded obediently.

Qiao Jinniang thought that the concubine would be the most difficult to get along with, but although the concubine was only fourteen, she was dignified and generous, which reminded Qiao Jinniang of the female gentlemen in the academy.

In the afternoon, Qiao Jinniang followed Mrs. Hou to the main street to buy jewelry and clothes.

"Mother, the hair you gave to the fourth sister is very valuable. My daughter wants to find a shop to restore it. I wonder which is the best jewelry pavilion in Chang'an City?"

Mrs. Hou thought of her ignorant little daughter and sighed, "You have been wronged, there is no need to repair it, and mother will buy you more later."

"My mother doesn't know. I spent a lot of effort to get this head. It's a rare treasure. It's a pity to lose it."

Mrs. Hou thought it was Qiao Jinniang's distress, so she followed her to the most lively Zhenpinxuan in Chang'an.

The jewelry here is the most top-notch in Chang'an City.

Qiao Jinniang went in and looked at the jewelry inside, but it was similar to the ones in Lin'an City.

She took out the head face that Qiao Ruoshui threw and asked the boy, "I wonder if there is any hard gold master here who can repair this head face inlaid with east beads."

"Hard gold? Is it a new gold-making process in Jiangnan?" The shopkeeper came over again and again, "It's really hard gold. This kind of hard gold is rare nowadays. Such a big name costs at least 10,000 taels of silver. "

Madam Hou was startled.

Qiao Jinniang nodded and said, "It's hard gold. I wonder if there is a master who can repair it?"

The shopkeeper said: "There is no hard gold here in Chang'an. Normally hard gold would not be broken like this. It took so much force to drop it."

Qiao Jinniang said helplessly: "Forget it then, let's repair it when we return to Jiangnan."

Madam Hou ordered the shopkeeper to take out the new jewelry in the shop, and let Qiao Jinniang choose at will. Qiao Jinniang really didn't like jewelry, but she didn't want to make Madam Hou sad.

Pretending to like it, she picked out four or five pieces, and then picked out a set of jewelry for Mrs. Hou, "Mother wears this jewelry so beautifully."

Mrs. Hou was coaxed to be happy, and paid the silver taels generously.

"Just now I saw the carriage of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion parked at the door. I don't know if the young lady who fell into the mountains and was raised by slaves will be brought back?"

"Those vulgar people, after coming to Chang'an, I'm afraid that sooner or later they will be rejected by the Anyuanhou Mansion!"

A group of noble ladies in Hualuo waving fans whispered and chatted.

Mrs. Hou was picking inside with the shopkeeper, and she didn't hear this, but Qiao Jinniang heard it firmly.

Qiao Ruoyi said next to Qiao Jinniang: "Sister, don't pay attention to them, they are the most flattering and depressing. Among those people, the one with the most official position in the father's generation is just a servant, and he is just jealous of my sister."

Qiao Jinniang smiled at Qiao Ruoyi, "I ignore them."

With such a cheap mouth at such a young age, this kind of person is also self-deprecating if he pays attention to them.

"In a few days it will be the spring hunting. I heard that the prince will also go to this year's spring hunting. Now that the prince has reached the crown, he must choose a concubine. We can't be the princess, but if we can enter the palace and become the side concubine Liangdi ..."

Listening to what they said, Qiao Jinniang felt that the girls in Chang'an City are bold.

How dare you say this out loud.

Qiao Ruoyi said to Qiao Jinniang: "Your Majesty dotes on the prince so much, so the prince's concubines will be masters in the future, so sister Ruoshui...

After the prince came back, the circles of noble ladies in Chang'an City were not very happy.

The daughters of the Duke’s Mansion want the Crown Princess, and the daughters of government and opposition officials want a good concubine and a good wife..."

Qiao Jinniang couldn't help smiling, "It's really a trouble for a blue face!"

Qiao Ruoyi smiled at Qiao Jinniang, "My sister's description is really apt, but she's not just a blue face, I'm afraid there will be a lot of good shows in the spring hunting this year. My sister just came to Chang'an, and I just happened to watch the show."

Qiao Jinniang thought that this concubine sister was really a wonderful person, "What about my sister? Don't you want to reach the sky in one step?"

Qiao Ruoyi said: "Father is Lord Hou, Taiwei and Minister of the Ministry of War. He already has a very high position, so why go to a place that is so high and cold."

Qiao Jinniang finally understood why the Anyuanhou Mansion had such great power in Chang'an. It turned out that the Anyuanhou Mansion held such a high position.

The Taiwei power is all over the government, so there is really no need to let her daughter go for a career.

It's no wonder that grandma asked her mother to go to the Duke's mansion to put pressure on her, which reassured her a lot about Qiao Ruoyun.

After Mrs. Hou settled the bill, she took Qiao Jinniang to the silk and satin shop again. After entering the silk and satin shop, there were quite a few noble ladies choosing fabric clothes, most of them came to make horse riding clothes.

The Tang Dynasty was martial arts, and women also knew how to ride. The spring hunting is coming soon, and many noble women are rushing to make riding clothes.

Mrs. Hou also made a set for Qiao Jinniang, but Qiao Jinniang refused again and again: "Mother, I don't know how to ride a horse..."

"It's okay if you don't know how to ride a horse, it's just someone else's daughter has it, and I can't treat my daughter badly."

Madam Hou and Qiao Jinniang entered, which attracted the attention of many ladies and noble daughters.

One of the wives came over and said, "Mrs. Anyuanhou, this is the second lady of the house, right? She really looks like you, as if she grew up beside you."

Qiao Jinniang saw that this lady looked somewhat similar to the woman who had a broken mouth just now.

Qiao Ruoyi whispered in her ear: "This is the wife of a doctor in the Ministry of War. Her daughter saw it at Zhenbaoxuan just now."

Mrs. Anyuanhou was naturally happy to hear others praise her daughter, "Yes, Jinniang looks like me when I was young, regardless of her temperament and appearance."

Mrs. Lin sighed: "It's just that life is a little bit hard, but fortunately, it will be rewarding in the future. I hope that the second lady will study etiquette well, and don't ruin the face of the Hou Mansion."

Qiao Jinniang just said: "I never suffered in the past, and my former parents treated me like pearls and treasures.

My adoptive parents have long been exempted from slavery, but your daughters raised me one by one by slaves. Dare I ask Madam, the daughter of your family thinks that the government's exempted slavery documents are useless, right? "

Madam Lin's face was extremely embarrassed.

Mrs. An Yuanhou was suddenly annoyed, "Miss Lin really said that just now?"
