Xiao Zimeng sighed, no way, her life should be like this.

She really hopes that her mother won't be doing these useless things, and she usually has nothing to do in her own house, just spare her when she goes out.

Xiao Zimeng complained in her heart for a while, then returned to normal, and then inadvertently glanced at Luo Shuilian, who was sitting next to her, and found that Luo Shuilian was looking to the side with affection.

Xiao Zimeng immediately followed Luo Shuilian's eyes vigilantly, and sighed in her heart, because Xiao Zimeng saw that the person Luo Shuilian was looking at was Xiao Jingchen.

And Luo Shuilian's gaze is obvious, it is definitely a look of admiration, and it is also very admiring.

Xiao Zimeng's face immediately changed, and she directly stepped forward and pulled Luo Shuilian.

Luo Shuilian was originally looking at Xiao Jingchen as infatuated, and was disturbed and a little unhappy, but when she saw Xiao Zimeng looking at herself nervously, she was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Xiao Zimeng looked around and didn't notice them, so Xiao Zimeng whispered to Luo Shuilian, "You go out with me." ”

Although Luo Shuilian and Xiao Zimeng are the same age, the relationship between the two is not very good.

Mainly derived from Luo Shuilian's character, in fact, strictly speaking, Luo Shuilian is more like Luo's daughter than Xiao Zimeng.

Luo Shi treats Luo Shuilian very closely, because Luo Shuilian is like her, more like her daughter than her, she sees Luo Shuilian, just like she sees herself, can she not like Luo Shuilian?

The lintel of the Luo family is not high, the imperial history also belongs to the Qingshui Yamen, the civil officials are first-class, and there are few people in the Luo family who can do business, so the life of the Luo family is very ordinary, and Luo Shuilian basically grew up in the Xiao family since he was a child.

Luo gave birth to three sons and a daughter, Xiao Zimeng is her only daughter, and it stands to reason that the relationship between the two cousins should be very close.

When I was a child, it was indeed okay, but as I grew older, Xiao Zimeng looked down on Luo Shuilian more and more, and became more and more estranged from her.

Now the reason why Xiao Zimeng is in charge of Luo Shuilian is really afraid that she will affect herself.

The sisters left the table one by one, and everyone didn't pay attention to it, but when they either went out together to breathe, or it was convenient to go out, and there was a maid with them, there would definitely be no mistake.

There are no foreign men in the house today, they are all their own families, and they are not as chaotic as during the day, so they are all more at ease.

Out of the hall, Xiao Zimeng took Luo Shuilian to a secluded place, seeing that there was no one around, and the maids were all close to them, so naturally there was nothing to hide.

Xiao Zimeng asked directly, "Cousin, what kind of eyes did you look at just now, you look at Cousin Chen like this, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Zimeng didn't want to beat around the bush with Luo Shuilian, and it was better to say some things directly.

She knew that Luo Shuilian was fifteen years old, and she hadn't decided on a marriage yet, mainly because she couldn't get high or low.

To be honest, the situation of the Luo family back then was still better than now, and her maternal grandfather Luo Yushi was also the mainstay of the Yushi Terrace at the beginning, otherwise, it would be impossible for the Luo family to marry into the Xiao family.

After all, the status of the Luo family and the Xiao family is much worse.

But now it's different from the past, Luo Yushi has been raised, and now the Luo family has begun to decline, and it is gradually forgotten by everyone.

With a background like Luo Shuilian, it is impossible for Xiao Jingchen to become the object of Xiao Jingchen's marriage.

Xiao Jingchen is the first son of the imperial capital, regardless of Wen Taowu strategy, he is a top person, and he is also the grandson of the head of the Xiao family, and he is definitely the successor of the future Guogong Mansion, no matter in which aspect, Luo Shuilian and Xiao Jingchen are really 108,000 miles apart.

In short, it's just four words, no drama directly!

Xiao Zimeng is a sober and very self-aware person, she will never let Luo Shuilian do anything, and return to the relationship between their three rooms and the Guogong Mansion.

Luo Shuilian's face turned red as soon as he burst out, mainly because Luo Shuilian didn't think that Xiao Zimeng would say it so directly, it was too direct, this said.

Luo Shuilian bit her lip and didn't speak.

Xiao Zimeng couldn't help but ask again, "Cousin, I just saw clearly that you looked at Cousin Chen so unscrupulously in front of everyone, are you crazy, are you going to kill us!"

Xiao Zimeng's tone couldn't help but become sharp.

Think about it, if Luo Shuilian really doesn't know what to do and does something immoral, then their three rooms will be completely rejected by the Guogong Mansion, and then they will gradually decline.

Luo Shuilian was also angry, and said a little angrily, "Cousin, what you said is too sorry, I'm your cousin, I like Uncle Xiao, Uncle Xiao's kind of character, who can not like it, if you can marry him, it will naturally be excellent." ”

Xiao Zimeng looked at Luo Shuilian's look, and really wanted to spray her face.

Xiao Zimeng sneered, "I advise my cousin not to be whimsical, you can't be the object of Cousin Chen's marriage at all, Old Mrs. Xiao won't agree, the eldest lady won't agree, and my mother won't agree, because it's impossible at all!"

Luo Shuilian's expression was a little hurt, "Why, where am I wrong?" Although her background is not good, her appearance and temperament are all good, where is she not as good as others, such a big family of the Xiao family, will she still care if she is related by marriage?

Xiao Zimeng really doubted what Luo Shuilian was growing in her head, was it grass, how could she ask such a stupid question?

"Cousin, you grew up in the Xiao family, followed my mother, although my mother has a little left, but she is also a person who doesn't understand, your IQ really makes me speechless!" Xiao Zimeng said unceremoniously.

No matter how stupid Luo Shuilian was, she knew that Xiao Zimeng was hurting her, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Xiao Zimeng, what do you mean?"

Xiao Zimeng really felt that Luo Shuilian was a fool, "Where do you say you are missing? What is your background, what is Cousin Chen's background, just by you, you still want to marry Cousin Chen as a wife, what are you not daydreaming?"

Luo Shuilian was suddenly devastated, her eyes were full of tears, and she was really wronged, "Cousin, our cousins, we grew up together since childhood, I know you look down on me, but you don't have to humiliate me like this." ”

Xiao Zimeng felt very speechless, what did she say, what she said was the truth or not, Luo Shuilian herself was stupid and stupid, daydreaming, didn't she tell the truth and wake her up?

Looking at Luo Shuilian's appearance that she might cry at any time, Xiao Zimeng really felt annoyed.

The reason why she doesn't like Luo Shuilian so much is because of Luo Shuilian's white flower character, she sheds tears at every turn, and looks aggrieved to death, as if someone bullied her, but Xiao Zimeng feels that what she said is all the truth, what is she crying about?

Xiao Zimeng waved his hand and said impatiently, "Cousin, what are you doing?" I'm just telling the truth, your background is indeed not worthy of Cousin Chen, I advise you to accept this thought, my mother treats you like a daughter, and will definitely find you a good family affair, so you don't have to think twice here!"

When Luo Shuilian heard this, she felt even more aggrieved, and it seemed that she would cry loudly at any time, she sobbed and said, "Cousin, can't you help me?" You are Uncle Xiao's cousin, if you are willing to help me, maybe Uncle Xiao will like me, as long as Uncle Xiao likes me, maybe the old lady and the eldest lady will agree!"

Xiao Zimeng really wanted to slap Luo Shuilian on the spot, "Shut up!" Xiao Zimeng said coldly. "You die by yourself, don't pull me, I tell you, if you dare to do something unacceptable, my mother and I will never care if you live or die!"

Xiao Zimeng originally just thought that Luo Shuilian was stupid, but now it seems that she has no IQ at all, and she has fed all the dogs!

When she goes back, she must make it clear to her mother that she must not let Luo Shuilian come to the Xiao family again!

In fact, Luo discussed Luo Shuilian's family affairs with her, and Luo also thought about marrying Luo Shuilian to her son, but the three sons were not suitable.

The eldest son is a little older, and he is married, so he must not let her be a concubine.

The second son is of the same age, but the second son clearly said that he doesn't like this cousin and will never marry.

The third son is only eleven years old, and he is too young, so he is not suitable.

She felt that her status was too low, so she was not happy.

Brought Luo Shuilian over this time, and it was also idle to see if there was a suitable gentleman in the Guogong Mansion?

In fact, the masters of the Guogong Mansion are not very old, at most they are the second master and the third master, and two of them choose one.

Luo's more important thing is Xiao Jingsheng, but it is estimated that it will not succeed, because Xiao Jingsheng is the eldest son of the second room, and he will never marry a good and helpless wife.

The second master, Xiao Jingpeng, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, and Luo wants to take this opportunity to talk to Mrs. Xiao.

As for Xiao Jingchen, the Luo family never dared to think about it, because it was impossible.

Luo hasn't spoken to Mrs. Xiao yet, Luo Shuilian has taken a fancy to Xiao Jingchen here, and she really doesn't know what to do.

Xiao Zimeng knew this, Luo Shuilian didn't know, Luo didn't want to put too much pressure on Luo Shuilian.

So I hid it from Luo Shuilian.

Luo Shuilian listened to Xiao Zimeng's words, she was really angry and aggrieved, "Cousin, why are you doing this to me, what do I don't like me, Xiao Ziyu bullied me like that today, you didn't help me out, you don't allow your aunt to help me out, I'm your cousin, you treat me like this, I'm really sad." After saying that, he sobbed and cried.

If it seems to outsiders, I am afraid that I still think that Xiao Zimeng has bullied Luo Shuilian.

Xiao Zimeng actually really couldn't stand Luo Shuilian's ghostly appearance, they were older, so they weren't together much, so Luo Shuilian was crying and making trouble at her, it was really the first time.

"Cry here if you want, I don't have time for you. Xiao Zimeng turned around and left.

Luo Shuilian saw that Xiao Zimeng was gone, because she knew that Xiao Zimeng really didn't care about her, so she put away her tears, and then held the maid's hand, and went down to freshen up, she cried a lot, if she went back like this, she would definitely be seen by others, so she simply went to freshen up and change her clothes.

To say that Luo Shuilian really likes Xiao Jingchen, especially when she saw Xiao Jingchen for the first time just now, her heart hung on Xiao Jingchen.

Of course, growing up in the imperial capital, almost every girl has heard of Xiao Jingchen's name, the first son, this title simply makes many girls crazy.

She also saw Xiao Jingchen once many years ago, at that time, she was still young, and she didn't have any special feelings, many years have passed, but she didn't expect Xiao Jingchen to change so much.

It's really charming, especially between gestures, the demeanor of a noble son is revealed.

And if a family like the Xiao family marries in by herself, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life, and she will really have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.

Thinking about this, Luo Shuilian felt very tempted, she really wanted to marry Xiao Jingchen.

Luo Shuilian washed her face, put on makeup, changed her clothes, and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, although she is not a country and a city, but she is really not bad, just because of her background, is she not worthy of Xiao Jingchen?

When Luo Shuilian thought of this, she felt extremely hurt.

Luo Shuilian sighed and returned to the hall with the maid.

Xiao Zimeng has returned, and Xiao Ziyu has also returned to her seat.

Luo Shuilian pretended to sit down casually and sat next to Xiao Zimeng, she didn't feel that Xiao Ziyu had looked her up and down several times.

The conversation between Xiao Zimeng and Luo Shuilian just now was listened to by Xiao Ziyu word for word.

Xiao Ziyu was originally ventilated outside, it was already very dark, the place where she was sitting was relatively secluded, Xiao Zimeng and Luo Shuilian were not familiar with the Guogong Mansion, so they didn't find Xiao Ziyu.

So Xiao Ziyu heard it clearly.

Xiao Ziyu really didn't expect that Luo Shuilian would have such a big mind and fall in love with her eldest brother, Xiao Jingchen.

It's simply impossible, and people with brains think it's impossible.

However, Xiao Zimeng's words made Xiao Ziyu impressed, her cousin is definitely an understanding person, and she is very understanding, which makes her like it more and more, if she can, Xiao Ziyu hopes to make friends with Xiao Zimeng.

It's much better to be friends with a smart person than with a stupid person.

However, Xiao Ziyu didn't take Luo Shuilian in his eyes at all, such a fool, no matter how much he thought about it, he could only think about it, and there was no possibility at all.

So Xiao Ziyu just glanced at Luo Shuilian a few times, just to see what other people's idiots looked like.

But at the same time, Xiao Ziyu also felt a little funny, it turned out that it was not only Xiao Ziyun and Xiao Ziqing who were stupid, these little girls who were just starting to fall in love, their IQ was not much better.

In fact, Xiao Ziyu didn't know that when Luo Shuilian was stupid, Luo was also planning Luo Shuilian's family affairs.

Mrs. Xiao was about to get up and go to change her clothes, and Roche saw that this opportunity was rare, so she went with her.

Mrs. Xiao was a little strange, how could Luo be so enthusiastic about herself, in fact, Mrs. Xiao really didn't like Luo very much, especially when Luo was still looking for trouble with Xiao Jing'er just now.

In Mrs. Xiao's eyes, Xiao Jing'er is similar to her daughter, although Mrs. Xiao is looking for Xiao Jing'er's trouble, but there is also Xiao Ziyu in it, which makes Mrs. Xiao even more angry.

However, Mrs. Xiao's personality is a very gentle person, and Mrs. Xiao will not be too faceless when she catches her up and accompanies her smiling face.

Luo Shi said casually for a while, and couldn't help but speak, "I don't know if the second master of your mansion is married?"

Mrs. Xiao didn't react at first, and she didn't know what the purpose of Roche's question was?

But he still replied, "The second master is not very old, so he has not yet decided to marry." ”

Luo Shi has actually inquired a long time ago, Xiao Jingpeng has not started to say kiss at all, let alone Xiao Jingpeng, these masters of the Xiao family have not said kiss yet.

Luo nodded and said with a smile, "The second master's age is not very old, but if there is a suitable one, it is time to take a look." ”

Mrs. Xiao frowned slightly, "Don't worry, Brother Chen's family affairs haven't been said yet, so I started to show Brother Peng'er about family affairs, which is also a bit unruly, fortunately, Brother Chen is only fifteen, and Brother Peng is only fourteen, so pick it slowly." ”

What Mrs. Xiao said was not wrong at all, and Luo also understood that this man and woman are indeed different, and the man's family affairs are indeed not in a hurry, even if he gets married at the age of twenty, it is not too late.

But women are different, Luo Shuilian is fifteen years old and still uncertain, although there are others, but it must not be said that she is young.

At the age of fifteen, there are people who have come out of the cabinet to get married, of course, the average woman begins to see each other at the age of thirteen, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, this is very normal.

So Luo Shuilian really can't be delayed.

Roche had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Is it appropriate for the eldest lady to look at my niece and second master?"

What Luo said was very direct, but there was no way to do it directly, because now it was obvious that she was catching up with Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao was stunned for a moment, looking at Luo's smiling face, Mrs. Xiao also understood that she was asking for something, no wonder Luo usually looked like he was picky about anyone, but now at this moment, he was smiling at himself.

Mrs. Xiao thought back to Luo Shuilian, thinking about what Luo Shuilian said in the afternoon, this Luo Shuilian is simply a copy of Luo's, she married Xiao Jingpeng such a daughter-in-law, isn't this going to kill Xiao Jingpeng?

Although Xiao Jingpeng is not her own, she will not harm Xiao Jingpeng like this.

Xiao Jingpeng, this child is very good, knowledgeable, and motivated, she will definitely ask Xiao Jingpeng to find a good daughter-in-law, definitely not a daughter-in-law like Luo Shuilian, if Luo Shuilian enters the door of the Xiao family, it is estimated that all the people of the Xiao family will be disgusted to death.

Mrs. Xiao figured it out, and immediately said with a smile, "Brother Peng'er is younger than Miss Luo, besides, Brother Peng is studying now, and he will enter the National Prison next year, I also asked him, he doesn't want to say kiss for the time being, so he has to wait, but Miss Luo's age, I'm afraid that he can't wait, this family business is not very suitable, and Brother Peng is a concubine, and Miss Luo is a concubine of the Luo family, which is not very compatible." Mrs. Xiao said very tactfully.

In fact, if Luo Shuilian is not such a character, Mrs. Xiao still thinks that Luo Shuilian is fine.

Although Xiao Jingpeng is the second master of the Jin State Mansion, after all, he is a concubine, if he wants to marry a concubine, his status must be reduced, otherwise he will marry a concubine, and this law will not change.

Therefore, Luo Shuilian, a girl from the Luo family, is suitable in terms of identity, but this temperament, forget it.

In the euphemism, it was also refused, and it was fake that Luo was not angry, but he didn't have a seizure on the spot, but just said expressionlessly, "Since the eldest lady thinks it's inappropriate, then forget it, when I didn't say it." After saying that, he helped the girl and left.

Mrs. Xiao didn't care that Luo's attitude before and after was so different, as long as this family business could be stopped, it didn't matter if she was stimulated by Luo's a few words.

Mrs. Xiao also took Cailian's hand back to the hall.

After Mrs. Xiao came back, she couldn't help but want to look at Luo Shuilian, although the family affair didn't work out, but after all, Luo Shuilian was mentioned just now, so I wanted to take a look.

This girl's appearance is really good, she is such a temperament, it is really anxious.

Mrs. Xiao actually saw that Luo went out with Mrs. Xiao, and when she went, she smiled, and after coming back, it was obvious that her face was a little unpleasant, and something must have happened.

Mrs. Xiao saw Mrs. Xiao's usual expression, but she just looked at Luo Shuilian as if she didn't seem to have any, and she understood a rough idea in her heart, after all, Mrs. Xiao has lived for more than 50 years, and she has lived in the harem for a while, and the Guogong Mansion has been controlled by her for half her life.

Old Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but fortunately, this time Mrs. Xiao also did something to understand that if she recruited such a stirr-stirring master like Luo Shuilian to enter the door, then Old Mrs. Xiao would not spare Mrs. Xiao first.

After all, Mrs. Xiao is a mother-in-law, and if Mrs. Xiao agrees, she is not easy to shirk as a grandmother, even if she wants to cancel, she will definitely toss it, and the relationship with the third room will be completely broken at that time.
