I may have had a fake childhood

"This time my mother got a message from a friend."

The stepmother poked her eyes out of the corners of her eyes, pouted her chin and couldn't wait for them to ask her, and then said, "Do you know that His Royal Highness is going to hold a ball, and I heard that he will choose his future wife in it."

There was a smile on the corners of the stepmother's eyes and eyebrows, looking at the two children as if she had seen the future Queen.

"Really, mom, you won't be lying to us." The elder sister stood up abruptly, with obvious shock and joy on her face, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and grabbed her stepmother's shoulder eagerly to ask for confirmation.

The second sister still had a calm expression, she lowered her eyebrows and didn't know what she was thinking.

Juxing looked at the eldest sister who was visibly excited, and then looked at his burly body, narrowing his eyes in embarrassment. Does this body type want to marry the prince or someone else?

His Royal Highness is really pitiful, if you want the eldest sister, it will be over sooner or later.

"What did I lie to you about? My sister who was on duty in the palace told me that the time was set to be three days later, so I rushed back immediately."

The stepmother smiled and took his hand and motioned him to sit down first, but the eldest sister obviously couldn't wait any longer, with anxious eyes, she immediately grabbed the stepmother's hand with her backhand, "But mom, even if His Highness has a ball, how can we get in?" ?”

Their family can only be considered a well-to-do family, and there is no way to compare with the real nobles. They don't even have the opportunity to carry their shoes, let alone enter the palace to participate in the ball.

When I think of being the queen, my elder sister's eyes are almost squinted, and now there are smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows, so she almost stood up and shook her stepmother to shake out the rest of the words.

"I've said it all, don't worry, since I can bring you this news, it means that I will find a way. Let me tell you, my sister is a big official in the palace. Letting us in is a trivial matter." One."

The stepmother raised her voice and continued proudly, "Children, let me tell you, there are not many chances to enter the palace, and even less chances to meet the prince."

The tone was full of arrogance: "You must work hard this time, try to get the prince's favor, you know?"

At the end, the stepmother's voice was solemn, as if she was explaining something important.

The eldest sister still couldn't suppress her excitement, this was the opportunity she had been waiting for most of her life.

Rubbing her hands, she stood up and spun around. After a while, she immediately came over to hold the stepmother's hand, and asked anxiously, "But mom, I don't have any clothes, and I don't have any nice clothes. I'm going to buy clothes now. I must buy the most fashionable ones at the moment, so that the prince He will definitely catch my eye at a glance."

The stepmother smiled and patted his hand. Seeing that he couldn't calm down, she stopped trying to persuade him. She just continued, "Don't worry, son, I'm ready. Look, my sister asked me to bring these to you." Yours are the favorite styles of noble ladies nowadays."

As he spoke, he pulled up the front of the eldest sister's clothes, turned his eyes around the second sister, and then returned to the second sister, his voice became soft and affectionate, and he glanced at the second sister again, and his voice was full of fantasy: "My children are all tops. Smart and beautiful, as long as you wear these clothes, you will definitely be the most shining existence in the audience."

The second sister didn't respond, the eldest sister answered immediately, and began to open the evening gown brought back by her stepmother with both hands, picking and choosing, and even kept secretly looking at the second sister with her eyes, for fear that the person would come up to snatch her: "Of course." , Mom, let me see what kind of clothes they are."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed again, raised his eyes to look at his stepmother, and his voice was full of admiration: "Mom, this dress is so beautiful, I want this one, okay? Mom, please, I just want this one."

Ju Xing watched his hand shake his stepmother's arm, the fat on Qilin's arm flicked away, and then heard the stickiness in his rough and wild voice, the goosebumps all over his body did not go away for a long time, and his eyes really hurt.

The stepmother looked at the second sister in embarrassment and said, "You have to discuss this with Bupleurum. His Royal Highness's party will last for three days. There are six evening dresses here. Each of you can choose three."

Jupiter is not surprised by this, but he doesn't know why he asked himself to come here.

The eldest sister immediately clutched the dress tightly for a while, then turned around, and dawdled to Bupleurum's side, with a rare plea in her tone: "Chaihu, can you give me this dress, I'll take care of the rest first." Let you pick one."

Bupleurum was obviously not interested in the party, so before he could say anything else, he answered casually: "Eldest sister, you can choose first, and give me the remaining three."

The eyes lit up instantly like a laser light switch, the eldest sister grabbed Bupleurum's arm, leaving a few marks on such strong muscles: "Chaihu, you are so kind, if I marry you in the future I will never forget your kindness to me after giving it to the prince, and I will buy you the most beautiful clothes and the most shining gems."

Bupleurum pulled out his hand indiscriminately but obviously with a slight disgust, with a faint smile on his mouth, he casually turned his head and glanced at Ju Xing, saw that the other party didn't look at him at all and said: "Okay, then thank you, big sister .”

The eldest sister didn't have time to talk to him, these six clothes were very elegant and luxurious, and he didn't know which two to choose next.

I really want to keep them all my own, and I will change them to something more eye-catching later on.

The eldest sister glanced at Bupleurum quietly, and after pressing the clothes on her body for a while, she decided to choose the two best-looking ones.

The stepmother was worried that they would start arguing about it. Seeing that Bupleurum is so sensible, they had already discussed it themselves, and they were a little relieved. Naturally, they were happier and spoke to Jupiter in a much better tone: "Cinderella , after they have chosen it, you take it back and change the clothes."

"Understood, Mom." As soon as he heard his name, Jupiter stood up reflexively and immediately agreed.

It turned out that this was the reason why I asked myself to come here. I was so scared to death, thinking that I would be criticized for doing something wrong again.

Seeing that his stepmother was about to go out, Ju Xing hurriedly stepped out of his foot and called out cautiously from behind: "Mom."

The stepmother thought that there was something wrong with the clothes she had just explained, and she turned impatiently to meet her big frightened eyes, and suddenly became irritable, and lost all her nice words: "What's the matter, why are you acting like this all day long?" If you are troublesome, tell me quickly, I still have something to do."

Ju Xing was so frightened that he immediately stood at attention and straightened his back, but his head was lowered deeply, and his voice was soft and tentative: "Mom, I want to attend the prince's ball too, can I?"

The soft and soft voice was like a soft feather scratching the hearts of everyone present.

"You? You still want to go to the ball. You are so ugly, how can you have the face to go in?"

The eldest sister who was picking out the clothes raised her head and laughed indistinctly, pointing at the clothes on Ju Xing with her flesh shaking, her voice stuttering from laughter.

"Oh my god, what a funny joke I heard. It's so funny that a Cinderella still wants to go to the prince's ball."

Tears filled the eyes in an instant, and Jupiter bit his lower lip tightly to control the tears from falling without the party constitution. He clutched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his body stretched straight and slightly trembling, but he still held a sliver of hope to realize it. I fell on my stepmother and begged her to give me a chance.

"Oh, have you finished all the things at home, and you still want to go to the dance? Let's talk about it after finishing the housework." The stepmother seemed to be in a hurry and was about to leave.

When Ju Xing heard the expression on his face instantly, he quickly called from behind: "Mom, I will definitely finish the housework that day, so can I go then, Mom?"

The stepmother turned her face and gave him a strange look, she didn't expect him to be so thoughtless and persistent, she said casually: "Let's talk about it when the time comes."

After speaking, it seemed that he still had his own business, and when he turned a corner, his figure had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Don't think too much, you can't go, and the guards of the palace won't let you in if you look like this."

With a look of disdain on her face, the eldest sister stuffed all the clothes in her hands into Juxing’s arms, gave him a blank look, and said, “It’s really beyond self-control, the top three are mine, and the bottom is Bupleurum’s. , sew carefully for me, and if something goes wrong, be careful and I will whip you."

The elder sister's eyes were filled with indescribable horror, and she even stretched out her fist and shook it in front of Jupiter as a threat.

It’s just that Jupiter has already been dazzled by being able to participate in the ball of His Royal Highness, holding the shiny and heavy clothes, he can’t stand upright, his feet are swinging, but his tone is extremely happy: “Okay, I see, eldest sister, I'll be sure to mend it, and I won't keep you from the ball."

The eldest sister took a deep look at him, the sarcasm in her eyes was almost solidified, she used her toes to think that mother would not take this ugly girl to the palace, that is, this girl foolishly still believes, but she will appreciate it when the time comes His disappointed expression must be amusing too, so he would snort coldly and leave without saying anything.

Only Bupleurum and Juxing were left in the hall, and now Juxing didn't know how to express his happiness, so he simply raised his voice with an obvious arc on his mouth: "Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely help you My eldest sister and I changed this clothes to be very suitable, and it will definitely make you shine in the crowd."

Perhaps it was because of the good news that he could go there just now, a blush of excitement appeared on Jupiter's face, which made Jupiter's pale face a little more angry.

Bupleurum glanced at him indifferently, his eyes straightened immediately, his naturally drooping arms trembled slightly, he looked back calmly and stood up, ready to leave.

Jupiter was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what he said wrong.

"En." Inexplicably left a word Bupleurum and left, only Ju Xing was left in the hall, with such heavy clothes in his arms.

Jupiter turned his neck, moved his sore shoulders, rolled his eyes and looked at the clothes in his arms that he would not be able to wear even if he gave them to him, and he felt a little headache.

These clothes are simply too gaudy, wearing them like walking paint buckets, I really don't know if their aesthetic system is different from ordinary people's.

Ju Xing, who was once a real princess, took a second look at the fabric and style. It seems that Cinderella's stepmother's friends really don't have a good relationship with her.

"System, I'm really not good at sewing clothes. Is there any video teaching to watch?" Jupiter asked casually.

After all, he is also a programmer. After passing through the first few worlds, he has roughly touched the system and program settings. Even if the system doesn't say it, he can sometimes guess what functions it may have.

This has nothing to do with the plot, but the skill system to help you is still provided, so the system is not completely useless.

【……】

[Yes, host. 】

Sure enough, Jupiter raised his eyebrows. The system never took the initiative to say what powers it enjoys before. It seems that it is for better simulation data, and even needs to be able to face some emergencies, but if they ask themselves, they still have duty to help oneself.

How cunning.

The corners of the mouth raised slightly, it was nothing to ask anyway, at most it was rejected, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can ask for help first.

With the help of the system, Jupiter dizzily watched a large section of sewing video teaching in his mind, but because the process is too complicated, after studying back and forth for a long time, Jupiter didn't even distinguish the front and back of a piece of clothing , let alone tailoring and mending, I was dumbfounded.

Looking at the mess of clothes piled on the ground, Ju Xing stretched out his hand and tugged casually, and lay down for a while, looking at the dark wall and fell into deep thought.

Sitting up suddenly, Ju Xing asked: "System, can I just go to that little fairy for help now?"

In the original story, Cinderella confided in front of his mother's grave because of the deliberate embarrassment of her stepmother and stepsister, and then she got the help of the fairy.

Although this is not a deliberate embarrassment that Cinderella cannot solve, but it is difficult for Jupiter after all, so it should not be regarded as destroying the plot.

The system feels that Jupiter is even deliberately maintaining the plot in order not to meet the boss, and this will just answer him lightly, and let the host make decisions.

Ju Xing rolled his eyes, he just wanted to be clichéd, because he was afraid that he would change the plot at will without knowing where it would go.

Now he is already very cautious, but it is inevitable that there will be some force majeure. For example, he really can't mend clothes, but if there is a little way, he will insist on asking for help until the day before the prom.

After all, he really didn't want any surprises, and he really didn't want to meet that data again.

Sniffing, shaking out what should not be thought.

After taking a last look at those clothes, I still felt that I couldn't figure it out, so I pulled the cloth strips covering my body and closed my glasses to sleep. I still have to cook tomorrow morning, so I should get up early and go climbing a mountain.

The author has something to say: Little Jupiter doesn't want to see Gong anymore! !
