C4

True Sis will have her birthday in March, and the weather will be a bit warmer, so I don't need to be so afraid of the cold. The real sister was sitting at a small table on the couch with the window open, her head bowed as she wrote her words.

Shen Jian had invited Mr. Zhao, an Elementary Scholar, from next door, to help his daughter. Shen Jian's name was unknown, and he was a neighbor of Mr. Zhao. Besides, the prince only said that he could read simple characters, so he might as well take care of this missing Elementary Scholar.

Mister Zhao, who had only been an Elementary Scholar and had never been hit by an Elementary Scholar before, was the girl who had taught the Shen family in the spirit of a woman. Therefore, his lesson was very easy, and he did not expect her to become a Elementary Scholar.

Mr. Zhao had been to Beijing, so he knew that many of the girls had learned to write a few words. This was also a grand style, at least, Mr. Zhao thought so.

"True Sis." A little girl stuck her head in and saw that there were only two little girls sitting on chairs accompanying her. Only then did she enter with a smile. This was Mister Zhao's daughter, Zhao Rulan.

True Sis was very happy to see her. The two of them were about the same age. Even when True Sis wasn't learning from Mr. Zhao, she would often go to the market with Rulan to buy food. Of course, True Sis invited the most.

Zhao Rulan sat down on the couch and said with a smile, "You can learn to write, but my father still hasn't taught me how to write. It's useless to say it, it's more important to learn embroidery from my mother."

True Sis threw down her pen and said, "I was just tired from writing, so you could have a chat with me. They said that there's a market tomorrow, and I was just about to ask you out to play." True Sis, Rulan and the little girl from other neighbors had always been out playing together.

"When I first arrived, I thought I saw someone looking for Old Master Shen and said that he came from some capital. Thus, I ran over here to tell you." Zhao Rulan told him the important matter first.

He didn't expect that True Sis would completely ignore him and said to Rulan, "The day is warmer. It seems like the willow branches in the yard have all sprouted. Let's go take a look."

The two of them walked out of the room with the two lass following behind them. Seeing that it was just the yard, they decided not to follow. Only then did True Sis say to Zhao Rulan, "Wait for me, I'll go listen for a while."

In front of him were Shen Jian's two study rooms. The important guests were usually here, and since they had come from the capital, it was likely that they had come from one of his aunts, also known as the mother of Prince Anping.

Zhao Rulan was standing off to the side, watching the show. True Sis ran to the window of the study and stayed there. She wasn't too naughty, but she always wanted to hear some things about herself first.

Shen Jian's voice came from the room. He was very surprised and asked, "How did you say that? I'm sure the prince is respectful to him …"

Hearing another unfamiliar voice, he advised, "Old Master Shen, you don't have to be so worried. The Grand Matriarch asked me to come over from the capital to take a look because she's worried."

She felt that the conversation had something to do with her.

Shen Jian was a little angry, "This engagement was decided when the two of you were young. However, I don't think it's strange for the prince to have thoughts of annulling the engagement, even though everyone knows about it." Shen Jian had always felt that this marriage was too inappropriate. If a real sister were to marry into a family, they wouldn't be able to support her.

Withdrawal? True Sis's ears perked up outside. It was that strange voice again, and it was full of laughter. "The prince has always had a certain dignity, so even though he's young, the Grand Matriarch wants him to come and see True Sis year after year. She's also afraid that if he comes, she will be wronged. "Your highness seemed to have some opinions about this marriage when you came to the capital this time, so the Grand Matriarch told me to come and have a look. Withdrawing the engagement is absolutely not an option."

Zhao Rulan waved at True Sis and whispered, "Someone's coming." Only then did True Sis stoop down and come over from under the window, pretending to look at the flowers and plants with Zhao Rulan.

The person who came over was Second Aunt, whose face was full of smiles the moment she saw the real elder sister. "The elder girl is playing here, is the master in the study? I have something to ask the Old Master. " Second Madame was the daughter of True Sis's mother in the past, so she was always more honest on the surface.

True Sis said to Second Aunt with a smile, "I just arrived too, so I was thinking to stay. Aunt should go in and take a look." Then, he pulled Zhao Rulan along and left, while his heart was still wandering around: Reject the engagement, this cousin prince is rejecting the marriage. Although he said he was a cousin, he actually wasn't related by blood at all. It was just that the two mothers were close friends, so they called each other 'cousin' because they were sworn sisters.

Besides, he was the only one who could yell. It seemed that it was because of his engagement. The second concubine was born with a jade fragrance that couldn't be heard. True Sis's wish to break off the engagement seemed pretty good too. She was already used to such a small family in the Shen family. It wouldn't be good for her to marry a person with a straight face all day long.

After playing for a while, the two girls arranged to go to the market city the next day. When Zhao Rulan left, she said to her sister, "I'll get my mother to give me ten coins. I'll also treat you to food."

True Sis went back to her room. The girls laughed when they saw her, "Where did Sis go? Master had someone bring you some snacks. I tried to look for you, but I couldn't find you."

On the table was a plate of piping hot pastries. After she had washed her hands and picked up a piece to eat, she told the girls, "Rulan and I are playing under the bridge. There are fish swimming in the water."

The girls all laughed and dissuaded him. "Sister shouldn't go play in the water in the future. What if you accidentally fall into the water? Even if Prince found out, he wouldn't be happy." True Sis had always been the pride of the maidservants in the room when she was betrothed to the prince.

True Sis took another piece of dessert and thought to herself, It seems like I'm going to break off the engagement. He only wanted to think about it for a moment before leaving. He said to his mother, "I'll go out to play at the market tomorrow and give me two hundred gold coins."

"It's time to go out with those little girls again. Two hundred gold coins for one go." Mother Qin, who cared about her sister Yue'er, laughed and complained. She still agreed, "I'll give it to you tomorrow." He then turned around and called out to the girl, "Have your clothes ready tonight."

"Just an old dress." True Sis hurriedly said. Otherwise, it would be a new set of clothes. She would worry about getting dirty even if she went out to play. Prince Anping's estate had never sent out bad clothes before.

Mother Qin couldn't not say a few words, "If you want to wear clothes, you should wear them. If you don't want to wear them, you can just give them to someone else. "I know that being frugal is good. Just like last time when you came here, I only wanted to wear old clothes at home, but I didn't want to change in time. Now that he has seen it, I still feel that it's not good."

"I know." True Sis has to agree immediately, otherwise, when Mother Qin says you will marry into the Royal Mansion, you have to have the rules and can't run around like the people on the streets. But every time I finish speaking, True Sis will still agree to it.

The next day, Qin Guan's mother let True Sis go out in the afternoon. Yu Ying, Yu Xiang, and Zhao Rulan, his daughters, were waiting impatiently. When they saw True Sis come out, they went out together.

True Sis had two girls following behind her, while Yu Yingyu and Yu Yingxiang only had one girl following behind them. Yuxiang first asked her sister, "Why did you come out so late? We've been waiting for so long." You have to study in the morning, so why are you out so late this afternoon? "

Yu Ying followed with a smile, "I guess you're asking for money from mother. Since elder sister is so old, mother is in charge of the money." I told my aunt that when I was twelve, I would take care of it myself. " He then spread out his palm and counted the money, "I only need twenty pieces of gold and Jade Fragrance only twenty pieces of gold and this sister will definitely have a lot of money."

As the four of them stepped out of the residence, the real young mistress felt in her embrace. There were two hundred pieces of paper in there. His mother only used one tael of silver per month for him to buy things that were missing.

She also tried to save a couple of grams a month for True Sis to spare, one tael of 1000 copper coins. Therefore, for the few little girls who played with True Sis every month, this was not a small sum, which was one of the reasons why everyone was happy to be on good terms with her. Another reason was because True Sis seemed young and tender, but was always kind.

Yu Xiang was only envious. "Big Sis has so much money every month, but I only have 500 gold coins a month, and I still have to be managed by concubine. Last month, I only spent less than 100 gold coins, but concubine said I've spent too much."

At this time of the afternoon, just as the market was bustling with noise and excitement, the farmers outside the city were close to each other, so it was late at night when the stalls were opened. The girls gathered together, bought and ate a bunch of food, all covered in sweat, and finally looked at the new snacks in the shop.

At this age of fourteen, with her small physique, she would pretend to be a child all day, even though there was someone attending her, she would either become younger herself, or she would sometimes feel tired.

True Sis took out her purse from her bosom and opened it to pour out three coins. The dessert was actually a better one that cost two coins each.

Seeing that there were four people in front of her, Shen Yi found it really funny. I play with three little radishes every day, spending my monthly allowance with them. However, he couldn't eat this snack, so he couldn't let everyone eat the three pieces of money that he had.

Coming back from the capital, it was also along the way. Watching the night, he came to the Shen family to see if he could see the real sister, at least the real sister would only recognize two or three girls, which made it difficult for him to think about it.

King Anping, mounted on his horse, immediately saw the four little girls on the opposite side of the road. The two big ones were the real sister and the others, and the two smaller ones were all staring at the tiny white jade palm of the real sister with three coins in their hands.

What was he doing? King Anping dismounted, threw the reins to Zhao Ji behind him, and walked through the crowd. Yu Xiang was asking Miss Zhen, "How did you spend all your money so quickly?"

True Sis thought about it and said, "We ate them all. I brought out 200 coins." Then he was also confused, "Why only have three coins left? How are we going to eat this dessert?" I really want to eat one. " He took a look at the new pastries, and the more he smelled them, the more he wanted to eat.

"You," Yu Ying quickly looked at True Sis. True Sis followed her gaze and turned around. Behind her was the tall King Anping.
