Winter goes to spring, the earth warms up, and in a blink of an eye, it is already spring and March. According to the old lady's instructions, the Liu family cleaned up several courtyards in the back garden, Saiyu, Qi Jiao and Qi Yun divided one, and arranged four big maids per person according to the rules of the house, two mothers, a number of little girls and rough mothers-in-law, Qi Yun because she was a concubine, it was halved according to the routine. This once lonely back garden has become lively for a while. On this day, the four sisters of Zhangfu were gathering in Qi Ying's yard to embroider together, although the sisters were not in harmony, but on the surface they were still harmonious. Everyone talked and laughed, so lively. Suddenly, the old lady Shen sent someone to say that Mrs. Anpinghou was here, and asked the four young ladies to pack up and go out to meet them.

When the four sisters heard this, they quickly put down the things in their hands and went back to their rooms to freshen up. Saitama returned to the room and told the maids to quickly change their clothes and comb their hair. Usually, it is Qiuyan's business to comb Saitama's hair, but once Qiuyan was away, Saitama asked Liang'er to comb her hair, and found that Liang'er combed her hair well, so she handed over the work of combing her hair to Liang'er, and asked Qiuyan to assist Qiushuang to take care of the little girl.

Today, because he wanted to meet a guest, Liang'er combed Saitama with an oblique moon bun and inserted a bead hairpin with a simple shape, but the bead hairpin fell a few east-beads of average size, which was a little gorgeous in the low-key. Qiushuang changed Saitama into a moon-white chrysanthemum embroidered shirt, and a white Luo skirt underneath showed her elegance even more.

Saitama came to the main hall where the Shen family met with a few sisters, and Mrs. Anping Hou saw it and said:

"Look at my sister, are they just the people who came out of the painting? The sisters hurriedly stepped forward to meet Mrs. Anpinghou. Shen on the side pointed to another lady and said:

"This is Chu Hanlin's wife, you have come to see it. Qi Ying stepped forward first, and Shen smiled and introduced:

"This is my eldest granddaughter. The Mrs. Chu smiled and nodded, and handed Qi Ying a purse. Then Saitama stepped forward to greet him, and Mrs. Chu deliberately looked at Saitama carefully, and also handed Saitama an identical purse. Next down were Qi Jiao and Qi Yun, who also received the same purse as a meeting gift. After seeing the people, Shen ordered the four of them to go down.

Although the Shen family didn't say clearly why they saw this Mrs. Chu, they all knew very well in their hearts that this was clearly looking at each other, and the object of each other's eyes was Saitama, and the others were just foils. The four sisters had their own thoughts, so they no longer had the interest of getting together to embroider, and said goodbye to each other and returned to the courtyard.

Qi Jiao felt that there was nothing in her heart, just a Hanlin, obviously unable to compare with the Guogong Mansion. Since experiencing the luxurious life of the Guogong Mansion in those days, and having that kind of contact with Li Duan, Qi Jiao has already belonged. Qi Yun was also mentally prepared, it was absolutely impossible for the old lady to worry about her own affairs, so she didn't have anything else to think about except jealousy.

Only Saiying, before Saitama came back, she was the only granddaughter of the old lady, and later, although Saitama took away all the attention and favor of the old lady, she was not jealous, but thanked Saitama for reinvigorating herself. But now, her family affairs have not yet been settled, and her grandmother has begun to arrange for Saitama, and this kind of differential treatment really disappoints her.

When the Liu family heard that the old lady had arranged for Qi Ying and her sisters to meet Mrs. Anping Hou and a Mrs. Hanlin, they thought it was for Qi Ying's family affairs, after all, among the sisters, Qi Ying was the oldest, and she had gone through such a thing. Therefore, she was busy with the matter at hand and hurried to Qi Ying's room to find out.

When she entered the room, she found Qi Ying in her clothes, lying face inside on the bed.

"Ying'er, what's wrong?" Liu said as he went to carry Qi Ying's shoulder, but as soon as the words fell, he found Qi Ying's face full of tears. Liu felt most sorry for his daughter, and said anxiously:

"What's the matter, who bullied you?"

"Mother!" Qi Ying threw herself into Liu's arms and cried. It took a while for Qi Ying to calm down.

"Mother, do you think grandmother doesn't love me anymore?"

"Nonsense, how can grandmother not hurt you. ”

"Yes, my grandmother loves me but she loves my second sister even more. ”

"That's right, your second sister has lost her mother since she was a child, and it's normal for your grandmother to cherish more. ”

"But now that my grandmother has begun to say goodbye to my second sister, I ......" Qi Ying couldn't say anything in the end, even though it was in front of her mother.

"What, did you just look at your second sister?" Liu Shi was taken aback, and his face changed. Qi Ying nodded slightly when she heard this. Liu Shi stroked Qi Ying's back thoughtfully, and his face gradually became serious, no longer the usual smile.

After greeting the old lady in the evening, everyone had to leave, and the old lady left Saitama under the pretext of having something. The grandparents and grandchildren sat in the inner hall of the old lady, and the old lady sent out all the maids. Old lady says:

"Yu'er, you may also know about today's matter, that Mrs. Chu was invited by Mrs. Anpinghou, and Mrs. Chu is still very satisfied with you. Saitama's face flushed slightly. The old lady said:

"The Chu family has only one adopted son, who is fifteen years old this year, and he was selected for Xiucai last year, and he is still motivated. Listening to Mrs. Anpinghou, people are also white and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. That Chu Hanlin has served in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and his personality is good, and Mrs. Chu feels that he is knowledgeable when he sees it. The most important thing is that the back house of the Chu family is very clean, and there is not even an aunt, saying that Zu Xun can only take concubines when he is over thirty years old and has no children. Yu'er, what do you think?"

"Grandmother......" Saitama is embarrassed to say directly on this kind of thing. The old lady patted her hand and said:

"I look good at this family business, and it is in line with what we mentioned before, but I still have to send someone to check it again to see if there is anything unknown. And you can think clearly, Chu Hanlin's family background is just average, it is much worse than our family, and if you marry in the future, your life will definitely not be as good as it is now, it is always your grandmother who gives you a rich dowry, and there is no reason for your father-in-law and mother-in-law to suffer, and you are happy. ”

"Grandmother, I don't envy the glory and wealth, I just want to live in peace, I don't want to live in endless disputes. ”

"Good boy, but this family matter has been decided in time, and it will not be done until your eldest sister's matter is resolved. ”

"Grandmother, where did you go, Yu'er still wants to stay with her grandmother for a few more years. After speaking, leaning on the old lady's arms, the old lady suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, this Chu Gongzi seems to be also studying in Guozijian, when the time comes, you can ask your eldest brother, how is that person's character. ”

The grandfather and grandson chattered all night, and the hour was not early, so Saitama rested in the place where he used to live, and did not return to his own yard. I don't know if it's a change of place, or if the family affairs have been settled, she was so excited that she didn't sleep for a long time, and her mind was full of longing for her future life.
