In the mind of Mr. Li, he couldn't help but recall the figure of Miss Zhu Ba whom he had just met.

There have been rumors in Beijing that Zhu Qirong is better than Pan An.

Whether they have seen it or not, they all know that the Zhu family are good-looking, especially this Zhu Qi Gongzi.

It's just that Young Master Zhu Qi is still a bit childish, and his appearance has not yet fully blossomed. Everyone is looking forward to how outstanding Young Master Zhu Qi will be in a few years.

The Zhu family has good looks, and Miss Zhu Ba is no exception.

Although Mr. Li didn't imagine it was disrespectful, he generally made a judgment.

It wasn't until I met Mr. Li that I realized that the Zhu family's appearance was not bad at all.

Zhu Bamei has regular facial features, delicate features, and a kind of aura in her clear pupils, which is not found in ordinary boudoir women.

Others are like delicate flowers raised in greenhouses, but she was born in the wilderness and grows wildly, like an orchid in an empty valley. She is the kind that you can't raise despite all your efforts.

I don’t know what kind of family can raise a girl like that?

Suddenly, Mr. Li became a little curious about the Zhu family.

…

"That Miss Li Er seems to like you very much!" Princess Yaoyue had a smile on her face, very happy about this matter.

Before, she was worried that there were people in the capital who didn't have eyesight, looked down on Zhu Bamei who came from the countryside, and made things difficult for Zhu Bamei where she wasn't paying attention.

Unexpectedly, Miss Li Er was as "savvy" as she was.

"I was also surprised. When I went to the Li family last time, I went a little out of line. I thought the Li family wouldn't like me too much." Zhu Bamei is not stupid. Although she also received posts later, she obviously felt that she was not as enthusiastic as before.

When she goes out to parties, she can also find that everyone starts to avoid her.

how to say?

Even though they didn't say anything, their eyes and movements were transparent, and they were very careful, as if they were afraid of "offending" her.

Zhu Bamei: "..."

Since you don't like me, why do you want me?

Well, she also knew that she had a brother who was an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs and a brother who was a prince-in-law. It was normal for people to respect her and stay away from her because they didn't want to offend her.

But because of this, Zhu Bamei went out a few times and no longer liked going out.

Since no one would feel comfortable after she left, why bother?

Princess Yaoyue said: "Shujing is so good, how could no one like you?"

The group of people strolled around the street for a while, bought some food and small items, and sent Princess Yaoyue to the gate of the palace. Then the two brothers and sister slowly returned to Zhu's Mansion.

Back in the room, Zhu Bamei opened the gift given to her by Miss Li Er.

It turned out to be a calligraphy book with beautiful handwriting. It looked like it was written by the girl. It was also scented with incense and painted with a few small flowers. It looked very elegant.

Upon closer inspection, the content inside was actually what Zhu Bamei said that day.

Although it is not the exact words, it roughly means that.

I carefully organized it and re-described it in my own words.

Of course, there are a hundred Hamlets for every one hundred readers. The article "translated" by Miss Li Er is somewhat different from what Zhu Bamei said at the time, but her thoughts can be seen.

Miss Li Er really tried hard to "memorize" Zhu Bamei's words, and even thought about it afterwards.

I just don’t know if I really understand it, or...

Zhu Bamei's finger fell on the copybook, and she looked at it again and again, feeling something surge in her heart.

She has been in the capital for a while, and she has heard some of the gossip outside. She also knows that what she said that day was out of line and must not be liked by everyone.

However, she speaks from her heart.

She doesn't want to wrong herself for others, nor does she want others to "mistake" her and think that she is a wife that can be taken back.

she is not.

She has the life she wants to live.

Her future must be what she imagined.

If not, please don't disturb her.

…

"Chun Ling said that you have been staying in the study since you came back today?" Ye Yuran said to Zhu Bamei with a smile during dinner.

"Yes! I am replying to Miss Li Er." Zhu Bamei was not surprised at all. When she went out today, her maid Chun Ling followed her.

When her mother asks when she comes back, Chunling will definitely tell her.

She did not hide anything and told Ye Yuran about the letter she had received from Miss Li Er and the contents of the letter.

"I didn't expect anyone to like me," Zhu Bamei said with bright eyes. "I thought that what I said that day scared them all away and no one dared to make friends with me."

Seeing the smile on her face, Ye Yuran was also very happy. Everyone doesn't want their daughter to make friends.

Ye Yuran encouraged Zhu Bamei to invite friends to the house to play, or if there were other places to go. But before going out, you must tell her that you can only go out with enough people.

After all, this is the capital, and Ye Yuran is also afraid that something will happen to Zhu Bamei.

Zhu Bamei nodded: "Mom, I understand, don't worry, I still care about my own safety."

In order to appear less urgent, Zhu Bamei delayed the letter for a day before having it sent to Li Mansion.

Miss Li Er was very happy when she received the letter. She quickly opened the letter to see what Zhu Bamei wrote.

Naturally, Zhu Bamei could not write anything particularly outrageous. She only said what books she had read on weekdays, which ones she thought were good, and which ones she recommended to Miss Li Er.

She also knew that some books were not available outside and were the "specialties" of Zhu's Book School. Zhu Bamei also invited Miss Li Er to visit her home when she was free, so that she could visit her study room.

Miss Li Er was really moved. She took the letter and read it over and over again.

After making sure there was nothing particularly outrageous in the letter, she gritted her teeth and went to find her mother with the letter.

"Miss Zhu Ba invited you to visit?" Mrs. Li was a little surprised, "When did you become friends with Miss Zhu Ba?"

Obviously, Mr. Li did not "snitch" about what happened that day, and Mrs. Li did not know that this friendship was initiated by her own girl.

Miss Li Er said with some guilt: "It's just... such a friendship. Mom, can I go? It's just a visit, nothing to do..."

Concerned about the identities of Zhu San and Zhu Qi, Mrs. Li nodded in agreement, but asked Miss Li Er to bring her cousin.

Miss Li Er's cousin, whose surname is Fang, is the eldest daughter of the Fang family and is already engaged.

Because both families are in Beijing, we usually visit more frequently.

On weekdays, if Madam Li would bring her daughter to a place where it was inconvenient for her to show up, she would trouble her niece.

Miss Fang is gentle and virtuous, a typical woman from a wealthy family, and is a model of etiquette in every move she makes.

When Miss Rei Er was being taught, she was asked to follow this cousin's example.

well……

Are you sure her mother is not afraid that she will lead her cousin into trouble?

Miss Li Er sighed in her heart, but did not dare to say it out loud. Because she was afraid that if she did, she would not only be criticized by Mrs. Li, but she might also be banned from going out.

That was Miss Zhu Ba's invitation, and she was looking forward to it.
