Fu Tingyun never thought she was beautiful.

When she was young, she went to visit relatives with her sisters. The cousins, brothers and uncles always liked to pull her head and always liked to tell ghost stories to scare her.

Once, Aunt Six's younger brother Shu Ming came to visit her home and said that her landscape paintings should not be beautiful and she had to help her draw. That was the homework assigned by the master. Her mother told her since she was a child that she could not cheat, but she refused to let him draw. She knocked over the inkstone while pulling and pulling. The newly made pink silk skirt was splashed with ink, which made her tremble so much that she trembled with him. She started fighting with him, and the people serving next to her could not even pull them away.

When Aunt Six's mother found out, she beat Shu Ming hard, banned him for one month, and fined him for half a year. Since then, whenever he met Fu Tingyun, he would call Fu Tingyun "ugly".

She was dissatisfied at the time: "I'm not an ugly guy, my grandmother likes me the most."

Shu Ming snorted coldly: "That's because she is your grandmother. Look at other people, as long as you stand there, everyone will look at you for a few more times."

Fu Tingyun didn't believe it, so she refuted a few words with him, but secretly observed it and found that as Shu Ming said, no matter where she went or who she was with, others would look at her more.

She felt deeply hurt and cried when she lay on the bed.

The wet nurse found out and comforted her: "That's because our Miss Nine is the most beautiful."

Fu Tingyun didn't believe it: "Because you are my wet nurse."

The wet nurse said she wanted to go and tell her mother: "Let the wife tell Mrs. Shu to go, I see if the Shu uncle dares to talk nonsense."

She felt even more depressed: "That is to say, I'm really ugly?"

"No, no." The wet nurse quickly denied it. Fu Tingyun had already lay on the bed and cried again: "You go to Mrs. Shu to complain. Mrs. Shu is going to punish the Shu uncle again, and the Shu uncle is going to call me "ugly monster" everywhere again!"

These are all children's urgency. The wet nurse tells Fu Tingyun's mother that Fu Tingyun's mother can't really go to Mrs. Shu to complain for this little thing. Moreover, Mrs. Shu has already punished Shu Ming. No matter what displeasures the people of the Fu family have, it will only make people say that the people of the Fu family are narrow-minded and have no tolerance. The wet nurse says this just to coax Fu Tingyun not to cry. Now seeing her getting stuck in the horns, she has to say: "Women of aristocratic families should be humble, cautious, calm and dignified first. As for whether they look good..." The wet nurse thought for a while and said, "Which woman is the legitimate wife of the real wife because she looks good? Otherwise, why do you have to talk about the 'three obediences and four virtues' and learn about the 'female red needle slap', and everyone will compare with whom!"

Fu Tingyun thought of the beautiful aunts in his fourth uncle's house, and his crying gradually became weaker.

The wet nurse breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her softly: "We lady will be the mistress and the host of the gifts in the future. If you want to learn, learn from the old lady, learn from the eldest lady, learn from the wife, be virtuous, be honest and respectful..."

Fu Tingyun deeply agrees with the morality of women, their words, their appearance, and their skills.

When the sisters learned this and that with the master, she was always very serious. When the sisters were playing, although she laughed and laughed, she always practiced quietly when she turned alone. Over time, the sisters counted that she did the best everywhere and was the best in everything. Grandma kept praising her natural and intelligentness, and took her there when she went to visit her aunt's house in Nanjing. She also won the favor of Mrs. Yu and got married with the Yu family, which made the sisters envious... Since then, she felt that the words of the wet nurse make sense.

But now, Zhao Ling said, "Shu brocade is sold for fifteen taels of silver per piece, and blue and white are no longer popular in Kyoto..."

Is he praising her?

Does he think she looks good?

Fu Tingyun lay on the bed and smiled foolishly.

He was definitely praising her.

She thought of the scene when he talked about the crispy mooncake.

"...I heard that it was made by you. The filling of the mooncakes is sweet but not greasy, and it is even more delicious than the snacks from Mingyuelou!"

He looked at her quietly, his eyes brighter, gentler, and quieter than the bright moon in the sky, just like a faint wave of water rippling between his eyebrows, making people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.

She didn't dare to look at it anymore and lowered her head slightly.

Thinking of this, Fu Tingyun's face turned a little red.

She knew that Mingyue Tower was in Suzhou, and when others talked about Jiangnan’s snacks, they would talk about Mingyue Tower.

Or is Zhao Ling comforting her?

As before, I always find a way to give her a lecture!

She couldn't lie down immediately and jumped out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror.

The skin is as delicate as a flower petal, the eyes are as bright as morning stars, and the lips are as rosy as cinnabar...

Fu Tingyun's white jade-like fingertips slowly slid from her cheeks to her chin, and she pursed her lips and smiled.

The girl in the mirror also smiled, like flowers blooming, bright and bright in an instant.

He should also like it?

She buckled the mirror on the mirror stage with a "snap".

He was the first to think she was good-looking.

If it was someone else, she would naturally not believe it. But Zhao Ling... naturally would not lie to her, nor would she lie to her.

It can be seen that in his heart, she is indeed beautiful.

Fu Tingyun only felt her face hot, and the joy in her heart was like sea water slapped against the cliff, waves higher and higher, making her mind sway. She didn't know what to do, so she lay on the bed with her eyes closed and buried her face in the quilt.

When she was preparing for the wedding dress, she once took a fancy to a piece of material, with bright red gold all over the ground, weaving honeysuckle, peony hairpin, peony, roses... The beauty is brilliant and dazzling, and she likes it very much. But her mother said that the fabric was not very good, and the embroidery worker was too gorgeous and not dignified enough. She chose to weave peonies, chrysanthemums, orchids, and plum blossoms with royal blue gold all over the ground, which was beautiful, but the colors were too neat, so it was not as charming as the bright red gold all over the ground.

Xi'an Prefecture should also have the kind of gold that has woven honeysuckle, peony hairpins, and roses?

She imagined how she would look if she could wear such a dress.

The black hair, snow-white skin, red lips and the bright red gold clothes on the ground are complemented by each other, so they must be beautiful and charming!

Will Zhao Ling be stunned after seeing it?

The more she thought about it, the better she felt, and hid in the quilt and laughed secretly.

I would say hello to Zhao Ling tomorrow morning and then go out to the street to see Mrs. Lu. Maybe I can buy the same material!

As soon as the thought changed, the smile froze on her face.

She, she is still in the filial piety period!

How can I wear red clothes?

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but sit up.

As the saying goes, a woman should be pretty and filial.

Unfortunately, she has never had a fate with the elegant colors of Yuebai, Lake and Piaohui. She wears clothes of this color, but she is not as smooth as her skin, which makes her hair too dark and her lips too red, just like ink sprinkled on plain silk and red on white paper. The color is too bright and looks abrupt.

She sighed and remembered that she wanted to do the temple for her uncle.

Since he arrived in Xi'an Prefecture, he has forgotten all the things after things. Although Zhao Ling proposed the work of the temple for his uncle, Zhao Ling has been busy these days. He has to arrange all the incidents before going to the military camp, which also involves his property. This is a century-old plan and cannot be careless. She should not disturb her. Why not ask Mrs. Lu and her to Wenren Temple tomorrow?

Fu Tingyun became worried.

In addition to some gold, silver jewelry given by her mother, she was the 2,000 taels of silver bills. The 2,000 taels of silver bills were given to Zhao Ling. She couldn't bear to move her mother's gold, silver jewelry anyway... So what kind of incense money would be used for uncles and aunts to build a temple? If I had known this, I wouldn't have given all the silver bills to Zhao Ling. I would have to leave one or two hundred taels for emergency response.

What to do tomorrow?

Could it be that Zhao Ling would have to return the silver bill to her?

When the thought came, Fu Tingyun was both ashamed and ashamed.

Then who has she become?

What did Zhao Ling think?

What should I do now?

Fu Tingyun no longer had the joy she had just now.

what to do?

what to do?

It's so annoying...

She sighed.

Apart from selling the jewelry her mother gave her, she really couldn't think of any other way.

Fu Tingyun tossed and turned, and the sky turned white before closing her eyes. When she woke up, the sun had already risen, and it was already past breakfast.

Zheng Sanniang took Linchun to play in the hall. When she heard the noise, she hurried to fetch water.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly washed up.

Mrs. Lu came over and said with a smile: "Master Jiu said, last night, the lady sacrificed the Moon Goddess in the yard, so we should not come to disturb you in the morning." Then she asked Lu Wei to set up breakfast.

Fu Tingyun tried his best to hide the discomfort in his heart.

Last night they were talking nonsense, and Mr. Lu and the others were back.

She thought of herself saying that she was tired and wanted to rest in front of Mrs. Lu and others. Mrs. Lu also specially served her to wash up before leaving the door. If she saw her and Zhao Ling sitting in the patio chatting... how could she explain to Mrs. Lu and the others?

Zhao Ling was obviously surprised, and said, "Why did they come back so soon?"

She was panicked at the time and said, "I don't know, then I'll go back to the house first." She hurriedly returned to the house. After a while, she remembered that the teacups, tables and chairs in the patio were not cleaned... If Mrs. Lu and the others saw it, she would hide in the house, but they would be afraid that they could guess what she and Zhao Ling had done. She hurriedly opened the door and saw Zhao Ling moving the tables and chairs into the wing room quickly. She looked at his back and felt that he seemed a little panicked... She moved her heart and hurriedly closed the door gently, pushed the window open a crack and looked out. The yard was already cleaned up. Zhao Ling was walking out while responding to "come, come"... Now it seems that Mrs. Lu and others must have woken up in the morning to find the incense and candles left by her worshiping the Moon Goddess in the yard.

Fu Tingyun tried his best to act casually and said "Oh" and lowered her head to eat breakfast.

Mrs. Lu sat aside and looked through the winter clothes she was about to sew, constantly praising: "Miss's needlework is so good!"

Fu Tingyun was taught to "eat without saying anything or sleep" since childhood. She smiled and smiled until she finished her breakfast and served the tea served by the reeds. Then she said with a smile: "You are too rewarding!" She believed that she was doing well in needlework and thread, and did not want to underestimate herself in words. She smiled and changed the topic: "Has Master Jiu left?"

"I went out early in the morning." Mrs. Lu smiled, "not only did she bring Mr. Yang, Sanfu, Shi Zhu, and Zheng San, but also the old man in our family went out."

Fu Tingyun was slightly stunned. There was something coming from the patio in front of her. She was about to call Zheng Sanniang out to take a look. Lu Wei ran in: "Madam, Zheng Sanhe Sanfu, Shizhu protects the master and has brought back a lot of money!"
