Chapter three hundred and eighty third malicious eyes
When princesses marry far away, even if they are not real royal princesses, they still need to be escorted by the army to the border between the two countries. This also shows that the country attaches great importance to the marriage and is also afraid that something will go wrong along the way.
So in addition to Shangguan Yu, several groups of people also set off together, heading in different directions.
The common people had more to talk about after dinner. They didn't dare to talk about the identities of the princesses, but they could talk about the dowry.
When a princess gets married, the dowry is naturally prepared by the royal family, as well as the maids, maids, and guards. These are all the private property of the princesses, but they are also spies of the royal family.
All countries are well aware of this, but unless the two countries are at war, these people will enjoy different treatment.
"After enjoying the glory and wealth, the price you pay is proportional to it. I don't know how many years these princesses can enjoy the honor in a foreign land." Bai Ling shook his head.
Although you can't send it to Shangguan Yu openly, you can still sit in the private room of the restaurant and look at it.
Duan's Restaurant has Bai Ling's stake, and the hot pot restaurant that Duan Yulang cooperates with is half the owner, so Bai Ling always has a private room reserved for her all year round.
Baicao also rarely came out to join in the fun. Hearing this, he sighed softly: "Daughters from famous families may seem to have unlimited glory, but their fate is in the hands of the family. Even when they get married, they have no right to choose. In the future, their husbands
The status of a family also depends on the ability of the mother clan and whether they are willing to support them."
"So we sisters are still happy. Although we have been poor, we have enlightened parents who allow us to have freedom in marriage, and the sisters can also support each other." Bai Ling said with a smile.
Bai Cao nodded with a smile, but when he thought of Bai Wei, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't want to say it out loud to make Bai Ling unhappy.
It was Bai Wei who was willful, Bai Ling was also a victim, and Baicao naturally favored her.
"This year's Chinese New Year, you are all in the capital, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to go back to my parents' home in the first grade of junior high school. It's just that the rules are there, I can't stay for a few more days, and I won't be able to go back to my parents' home during the whole first month." Baicao deliberately moved.
topic.
Bai Ling also thought of Bai Wei for a moment just now, and was naturally willing to cooperate with Bai Cao.
"Yes, the world always uses rules to restrain women." Bai Ling held Bai Cao's hand and whispered: "Why should eldest sister be trapped by these rules? After the New Year, it will take a few days to deal with it.
After those mundane things, the eldest sister found a way to live in the village. Our village is not far away, so I will take my brothers there."
"It's a good thing you have a brain, that's settled." Baicao said with a smile.
"I was just talking to eldest sister. Which princess has passed by? I don't even remember." Bai Ling said Bai Ling stood up and came to the bed to look.
Haitang made a gesture just now, which meant that Shangguan Yu was coming, and Bai Ling naturally wanted to take a look.
Bai Cao didn't notice the little moves of the master and servant, so he also got up to take a look, also wanting to know how heavy the princess's dowry was.
The more generous the dowry, the more it will be exposed in public. The royal family wants to show the abundance of the treasury, and naturally it follows the custom.
Bai Cao's target fell on the dowry, and she was a little stunned when she saw it, but she wasn't too envious.
"The dowries of princesses are expensive, but most of them can only be seen and not used. But the dowry you prepared for me, second sister, can be exchanged for silver at any time, and some are even better than these." Baicao said softly, thinking in her heart.
I was moved again.
In contrast, Bai Cao realized how much Bai Ling had put into her. The dowry was enough to give to the princess.
But thinking that Bai Ling had prepared dowries for all the sisters in the family, and they were all very heavy, it turned out to be the reason why Bai Wei hated Bai Ling, and she felt even more sorry for Bai Ling.
"You are my eldest sister. You are extremely important in my heart. No matter how much dowry you have, it is worth it." Bai Ling replied with a slight smile, but his eyes never left Shangguan Yu who was riding on horseback.
I saw him wearing silver armor, the pleats shining in the sun, but also exuding an air of coldness that would keep strangers away.
Compared with the previous generals who sent his bride off, Shangguan Yu was the youngest and the most handsome.
The most important thing is that Shangguan Yu has a bit more nobility and the aura of a literary general.
Many girls ignored the rules and threw their purses and handkerchiefs at Shangguan Yu, unknowingly thinking that Shangguan Yu was parading around the city today.
I don't know how Shangguan Yu sensed Bai Ling's gaze. He raised his head as if unintentionally and met Bai Ling's eyes. The corners of his lips slowly rose in a shallow arc, and the coldness around him faded away.
In the vast sea of people, I can recognize you at a glance.
Such a feeling made Bai Ling unable to control the speed of his heartbeat, and his pretty face turned red.
Nodding slightly, he saw Shangguan Yu turning away, but Bai Ling couldn't bear to look away, looking at his back infatuatedly.
"Is that Shangguan?" Baicao asked in surprise.
This was the first time Baicao saw Shangguan Yu wearing armor. He was very different from the Shangguan Master he was familiar with.
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, "He is responsible for sending the two princesses to the border and will stay there afterwards."
Baicao didn't know this. Seeing that there was only a vague outline of Shangguan Yu's figure, she lowered her voice and asked: "Second sister, when will Shangguan go to your home to propose marriage? You are already eighteen years old. It would be a bit awkward if you don't get engaged again."
late."
Baicao only knew that the two of them had feelings for each other, but she couldn't rest assured that they still hadn't made an engagement for so long.
"Probably after the new year." Bai Ling said with some embarrassment: "I have already written a letter home to my father. It is okay to get engaged first. I don't want to get married in two years, and Shangguan also agreed."
"What?" Baicao exclaimed and quickly covered his mouth.
"That's what the eldest sister thinks. It's not that he doesn't want to propose marriage, it's that I don't want to get engaged so early." Bai Ling's face was very calm.
But looking at Baicao's surprised expression, I always felt like I was sorry for Shangguan Yu, and I couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Oh! It's your blessing that Shangguan is willing to pamper you, but you have to learn to cherish it. If it's too easy to get, men won't cherish it, but if it's too hard to get, it's easy to be angry. Sister knows that you do things in a measured way.
Think twice before doing anything." Baicao advised.
Bai Ling raised her eyebrows. This was the first time someone said such a thing to her.
Shangguan Yu was good to Bai Ling and was willing to indulge. In this relationship, Shangguan Yu also paid a lot.
Bai Ling didn't think anything was wrong at first, but now he felt that he was really willful, and his devotion was far less than Shangguan Yu's.
Bai Ling was thinking about whether he had done something wrong. Suddenly he raised his head and looked to the opposite side. He saw that the window opposite was closed. Although the other windows were open, there was nothing abnormal.
"What's wrong?" Bai Cao asked.
"It's okay, I thought I met an acquaintance. Let's sit down and have something to eat. The eldest brother-in-law returns to Beijing. I don't dare to talk to the eldest sister anymore, for fear of disturbing your husband and wife's heart-to-heart talk." Bai Ling chuckled.
For a moment just now, Bai Ling felt that he was staring at her with malicious eyes, but when he raised his head, he disappeared.
Before sitting down, Bai Ling looked across again. The window was still closed.
Haitang kept paying attention to Bai Ling, received her gaze, nodded and left.
"You are so talkative." Baicao blushed at the teasing, glanced at Bai Ling and said, "When you get married in the future, I won't dare to come to your house. If it affects the relationship between you and your brother-in-law, wouldn't it be me?
Does this eldest sister have no sense of propriety?"
"If the eldest sister doesn't come, then I will go find the eldest sister. The capital is so boring. If we sisters don't keep company, won't we become harems?" Bai Ling took Baicao's arm and pressed her pretty face against hers. (To be continued.)
