Chapter 214: Knowing yourself is important, but she didn’t
Not long after, Rong Qingqing happily brought her sisters from the mansion to visit Ji Chuhe.
There are only three young ladies in the Duke's Mansion in this generation.
There are still fewer girls and more boys.
Rong Qingqing is the oldest of the three girls and is only fifteen years old.
She is the daughter of the eldest son and the eldest lady, and is also the only legitimate daughter in the Duke's Mansion besides the princess.
The remaining two, one ranked sixth and the other ranked tenth.
The Sixth Miss was born to the concubine of the Third Room, and the Tenth Miss was born to the concubine of the Fourth Room. Both of them were born out of wedlock, but because girls in the Duke's Mansion are very precious, they are now registered under the name of the mistress and have the status of legitimate ladies.
After finally giving birth to a baby girl, the Third and Fourth Ladies and their concubines were all extremely sad.
The Sixth Miss had just turned thirteen, and the Tenth Miss and the Ninth Young Master were the same age, only eight.
When Ji Chuhe was in Huaiyang, she received the books sent to her by the Duke's Mansion and found a note in the book.
She now knew for sure who had written the note.
It must be the fifth young lady Rong Qingqing who looks quirky.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but think of the sentiment expressed by his mother one day, about the question of whether to be a human or a bird.
This Miss Qingqing was also the fifth child, just like my mother. Judging from the inappropriate words on the note, she seemed to be quite like her aunt, my mother.
What Miss Rong Qingqing envies is not the birds that can fly freely in the sky.
It was the turtle lying motionless on the stone in the lake of the Duke's Mansion's garden.
Rong Qingqing brought her two younger sisters into the house, tried her best to behave properly, and saluted Ji Chuhe properly.
"Qingqing brought the two sisters to meet sister-in-law."
Ji Chuhe quickly stepped forward and helped the three of them up. "We are all sisters. No need to be polite. Please sit down."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Rong Qingqing responded happily, and turned to her two sisters and said, "I told you, sister-in-law is definitely not the kind of pedantic person who would talk about rules all day long."
Sixth Miss Rong Lele and Tenth Miss Rong Yueyue nodded repeatedly.
Ji Chuhe couldn't help but laugh.
Look at the tall hat she is wearing.
"These are some candied fruits and dried fruits brought from Huaiyang. Come and try them and see if they suit your taste." Ji Chuhe sat at the round table and pushed the plates of food in front of the three people.
Mianzhu has already prepared some tea and will bring it over to serve the three young ladies later.
"Sister-in-law, it's delicious!" Rong Qingqing took a bite and nodded repeatedly.
Rong Lele and Rong Yueyue also nodded vigorously.
Ji Chuhe picked up the small gifts in an exquisite box beside her and placed them in front of the three people one by one.
"This is a welcome gift for you."
"Wow! Sister-in-law, you also prepared gifts for us!" Rong Qingqing was surprised and asked politely: "Can we open it and take a look now?"
"Of course." Ji Chuhe nodded.
The three of them opened the gift box and saw a set of pink headwear inside.
Two peach blossom hairpins, and a beautiful tassel hair crown.
This pink, tender, rich and charming gift immediately made the three little girls fall in love with it.
They have no shortage of jewelry, but who would refuse new jewelry that is novel and beautiful!
"I really want to put on this set of jewelry right away!" Rong Qingqing was a person who couldn't hide her thoughts. She turned around and acted coquettishly towards Ji Chuhe, "Sister-in-law, I want to wear it!"
"Okay, I'll ask Mianzhu to change your hair style so it will be more suitable for this set."
"Okay!" Rong Qingqing nodded excitedly like a chick pecking at rice.
"Sister-in-law, we want one too!" Rong Lele and Rong Yueyue said impatiently.
"Okay, everyone wears them, but we have to wait for Mianzhu to comb their hair one by one."
"Yes!" The two nodded immediately.
"Yueyue is the youngest, let Yueyue comb her hair first." Rong Qingqing pulled Rong Yueyue to stand in front of Mianzhu.
Ji Chuhe looked at the three sisters with a smile in her eyes.
The relationship is really good.
"Madam, I can also do the hairstyle you mentioned." Dong Ling came forward and wanted to help.
"Okay, then you can help comb the hair too."
"Yes." Dong Ling said, looking at the remaining two ladies, "Ladies, who should I help comb first?"
"Le Le should comb her hair first." Rong Qingqing pushed Rong Le Le forward.
"Miss Lele, come and sit over here."
Soon, the three of them had combed their hair into new buns, and Ji Chuhe also helped to put on the hair crowns and hairpins.
The three of them looked at themselves in the mirror happily.
There are so many elders in the Duke's Mansion, and they spoil the three young ladies to be innocent and naive.
The three of them have many of the same things.
I have never had a competitive spirit, and I never feel that I would be overshadowed by others when it comes to the same thing.
"It's so beautiful! When the Empress Dowager holds her birthday party next month, the three of us can wear this set of jewelry to the party, okay?" Rong Qingqing asked her two younger sisters.
"Great! Sister Qingqing, did our aunt make the same clothes for the three of us?" Rong Yueyue asked excitedly.
The smile on Rong Qingqing's face suddenly froze.
I did not do three sets, but four sets.
He also made an identical set for Liao Yunfei who was staying at his house.
I really don't understand. Given Liao Yunfei's status and the fact that she can't attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, why do they have to make an identical set for her?
Liao Yunfei was so petty that she became sad again after a while.
I was so sad that I couldn't control myself. What should I say? "Even if I wear the same clothes, I can't attend the Empress Dowager's banquet" and other sarcastic words!
She wasn't qualified in the first place!
"Madam, Miss Liao wants to see you." Xiang Zhu walked in quickly and announced.
Rong Qingqing's expression suddenly became even uglier. "Why is she here?"
Rong Lele and Rong Yueyue went over and held Rong Qingqing's hand.
"Don't be angry, sister. Let's just ignore her, or else the aunt will scold you again."
Ji Chuhe looked at the reactions of the three sisters and felt that Liao Yunfei was not someone who was easy to get along with.
That day, she felt that Liao Yunfei was out of tune with the entire atmosphere of the Duke's Mansion.
"Since you're here, there's no reason to turn you away. Please invite Miss Liao in." Ji Chuhe said softly.
"Yes."
Rong Qingqing was so anxious that she didn't care about any etiquette and rules. She held Ji Chuhe's hand tightly and said, "Sister-in-law, although she is my cousin, I shouldn't say bad things about her behind her back. However, she is really not an easy person to get along with. She is weak and petty. Sister-in-law, you have to be on guard."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you Qingqing for the reminder." Ji Chuhe responded as if coaxing a child.
Liao Yunfei was invited in by Xiangzhu.
She had a decent smile on her face and was about to salute, but when she saw three young ladies from the Duke's Mansion standing together, each wearing a set of beautiful jewelry, her smile dimmed.
She knew that Rong Qingqing had never considered her her cousin and looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.
