The border is bitter and cold. Although Sun Youming and Zhao Qingling grew up in the city where the army was stationed, they have also developed the habit of thrift and thrift. Naturally, they are not willing to spit out the sour oranges they eat.

Seeing the sour tears of the two of them were about to fall, Bai Guo held back her tears, her brows and eyes frowned with a rare smile, she got up and poured hot tea for them and said, "Drink some tea quickly, go taste it in your mouth."

Sun Youming covered her mouth pitifully and looked at Zhao Qingling who was in the same miserable situation.

Wei Liangyin was impatient with their whirling temper, so he peeled another longan and threw it into his mouth to chew, and said: "The fruit is already served to you, why don't you pick it up quickly, where did you get so arrogant? I said you It’s only been a month since I’ve been in the capital, and I haven’t learned anything else, but this big family is quite good at displaying scores?”

His mouth was also unforgiving, Sun Youming blushed because of what he said, Zhao Qingling was better, but still quickly took the tea from Bai Guo's hand, and thanked her in a low voice.

"That's right." Wei Liangyin couldn't stay idle while eating, and said, "You came here today, and you also know that it's my family's Guoguo's birthday, so you didn't bring anything to express to the little birthday boy?"

Each family had already prepared gifts for the birthday celebration, and once they entered the mansion, they were handed over to the steward for registration. Sun Youming and Zhao Qingling came with their father and brother, and naturally all the congratulatory gifts that should be taken were handed over to the steward of the mansion. But no one ever thought of handing it over to Xiaoshou Xinggong face to face.What Wei Liangyin said was looking for trouble, strictly speaking, it was even a bit rude, but it was the same thing, but it also made the two Shuang'er who came to the house as guests lose face.

Zhao Qingling was a little embarrassed and said: "All the gifts prepared at home have been left to the family to manage. It's also because we are a little rough-minded. We never thought of handing over the birthday gifts to Mr. Bai, the little birthday boy."

Sun Youming was more cautious. After thinking for a while, he took out an amulet from his body, and handed it to Bai Guo with some reluctance: "This is the blessing of peace that my mother asked for in a temple in the suburbs of Beijing a few days ago. Although it is not a valuable item, the talisman is a wish, so Mr. Bai will not dislike it, right?"

Bai Guo heard that it was a talisman asked by the other party's mother-in-law, and quickly shook his head and refused: "My cousin was just joking with you, since it is the blessing of peace that Sun Gongzi's mother-in-law begged for you, what do I say if I accept it... You better quickly put it away, Young Master." He spoke very quickly this time, and he didn't realize that the stumbling block in his previous speech had disappeared completely.

On the other hand, Wei Liangyin could hear clearly, his eyes lit up, with a hint of joy, he wanted to ask aloud, but he swallowed it back, for fear of poking his cousin's scar in front of outsiders.

Seeing that the ginkgo was not accepted, Sun Youming showed a happy and shy smile on his face. He was also really reluctant to let his mother and father ask for safety and blessings for him, but he also saw that the little birthday star of the ginkgo was empty-handed. But he couldn't bring out any ready-made presents, and suddenly felt bad, so he said softly: "Next time I come to see you, I will bring you the embroidered pieces I embroidered with my own hands. Don't be disgusted."

Bai Guo pursed her lips: "I don't dislike it."

Wei Liangyin sneered coldly, but didn't interrupt.

Seeing Sun Youming's words, Zhao Qingling held back and said, "...I'm not good at embroidery and I can't do it."

Wei Liang glanced at him sideways: "Hey, didn't our young master Qingling come to the capital to be a famous lady with others, and learn from them about women's morals and etiquette? How can he even be a lady like embroidery? Can't learn the skills well?"

Zhao Qingling's expression turned pale, Bai Guo saw this, pinched Wei Liangyin's finger, and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, don't listen to my cousin's nonsense... I'm ashamed to say that I'm not good at embroidery. "

Zhao Qingling obviously didn't believe it: "Mr. Bai, don't lie to me. You used to be the son of the Hou family and the noble son of a noble family in Beijing. How could it be possible that you don't even know how to embroider?"

As soon as the words came out, Bai Guo lowered her eyes, but Sun Youming had heard about two or three of the reasons, and wanted to make her friends stop asking, but she didn't want Bai Guo's complexion to remain unchanged, as if she was saddened by someone. However, as far as I know, as far as I know, in terms of female red embroidery, Even Mrs. Uncle's own twin sons didn't learn it."

Zhao Qingling first heard about Bai Guo's embarrassing position in the mansion, and then realized that she hadn't inquired about the other party's background in advance, and felt that she had made a slip of the tongue. "How could it be? Isn't the female red embroiderer a skill that all the noble women and sons of the Beijing and middle families should learn well?"

Wei Liang gave him a dark look: "Who did you hear that from?"

Zhao Qingling only said that the neighbor next to her new mansion told her mother-in-law, and the wife of that family even bragged that it was because her daughter was a good embroiderer that she won the favor of the nobleman and found a good husband.

Bai Guo asked curiously: "May I ask which big family it is?"

Zhao Qingling thought for a while, her expression changed, and she said a little strangely: "...It seems that the family has some relationship with Mr. Bai's family. The master's family name is He, and there is a lady who was favored in the palace before, which is the daughter of the master's family. , that lady should be Mrs. Bai's sister, Mr. Bai is supposed to be called aunt."

"What kind of aunt? My aunt is not like that in the palace to be the mother's sister. Don't mess with my family's Guoguo relatives." Wei Liangyin frowned and said with a downcast face.

Zhao Qingling didn't want to lose her temper with him at the moment, so she just looked at Bai Guo and said, "It's just that the wife of this family and my mother-in-law talked about some things in Beijing, and now it seems that they can't do it right?"

Bai Guo was previously raised by the He family in the backyard of the White Mansion, and he didn't know much about the rules of Beijing's training of noble girls from aristocratic families.

Although Bai Yi is the delicate and pretty pair raised by Mrs. He, there are some things in principle that Mrs. He would never allow Bai Yi to lose his temper and play tricks during the process of raising him. He vaguely remembered that one year the mansion should invite Bai Yi Sir, poetry and poetry must be homework to be done every day, but as for female red embroidery, it is just relaxation and entertainment in leisure time. Even Bai Yi doesn't like needlework, so He just coaxed him to say "don't learn Let’s not learn, because my son is going to marry a noble family and be the first wife, so I don’t need to learn what these Jiaofang women and lowly concubines use to please men.”

At that time, Bai Guo was punished by Mrs. He to kneel on the futon outside the house for a long time because of some excuses. He could only hear the intermittent voices of Mrs. He and Bai Yi from inside the house. Although he was clumsy, his memory was not bad. The disdain in He's tone.

Turning her mind around, Bai Guo felt a little unsteady at this moment, He seemed to not like that sister who was a noble person in the palace that much, otherwise she would not have said such a thing.

Similar to what Bai Guo thought, Sun Youming moved faster than Zhao Qingling, and complained a bit: "You didn't say earlier that the He family lived next door to your house. I only heard about it a few days ago. The noble lady who was favored in the past was demoted by His Majesty for bullying other low-level concubines in the palace. The favor of the former empress... You listened to what her family said and told me about it, but I actually believed it... This is really..."

The more Sun Youming thought about it, the more frustrated she became, and she pointed at Zhao Qingling's face and didn't know what to say about him.

"How would I know?" Zhao Qingling was extremely wronged, "That's what my natal father heard and told me. We just came to Beijing to take root, and we don't understand anything, so we just believe what people say. What's the matter, I told you earlier, and I told you because of my good relationship with you, take a look, if it was Wei Liangyin, I wouldn't bother to tell him!"

"It's your mother who misunderstood the family." Wei Liangyin quit. "Besides, I didn't ask you, Zhao Qingling, to tell me about those family rules. Don't blame me."

Zhao Qingling curled her lips and stopped talking.

Sun Youming also felt embarrassed. Those twitchy daughter-in-law attitudes from before simply didn't hold back at all. She relaxed for a moment and revealed her original shape. She slumped on the stone table lazily as if not afraid of the cold, grabbed a handful of nuts, and asked Bai Guo: "Young Master Bai, tell me, what rules do the noble ladies and noble sons of the aristocratic families in Beijing have to learn?"

Perhaps the little Shuang'er's posture changed too quickly in front of him, Bai Guo was startled for a moment, but Wei Liang sneered, as if he had gotten used to it long ago.

Blinking her eyes slowly, Bai Guo pursed her lips and said solemnly and seriously: "Probably... it is a must to obey each other when you meet each other."

As for the others?

Bai Guo frowned and said, "It's gone."
