Yueyao had a lot of questions in her heart, but it was inconvenient to ask them when outsiders were present.

Mother Deng came out of the small courtyard and said angrily: "Girl, don't pay attention to her, no matter how no matter what, no one will say anything about the girl." "My girl is only nine years old, so she really needs to be taken care of! But her own girl not only takes good care of herself, but also takes care of the fourth young master, and others don't know the hardships of this, but she knows it clearly.

In order not to let people say that Ting was fostered in the Li family, not to take advantage of the Li family, Yue Yao tried her best every time she gave gifts to the Li family and her husband. The gift should not be too expensive, and it should be liked by the family and Mr. Zhu, which is really not a trivial matter.

Yueyao felt that Mother Deng was not as shrewd as she imagined: "Mom, don't say this again in the future." My aunt is an elder, I am a junior, and it is my duty to visit her. "Yue Yao went to see Xiao Ma's, it was based on etiquette, and she didn't take Xiao Ma's words to heart at all, and she could see from just a few minutes of getting along that this aunt was really unreliable. She used to wonder how her uncle was a generous person, how could he place their mother and daughter in a remote and small place, and this was the reason for daring to love.

Mother Deng looked at Yueyao's innocent face, nodded and said, "What the girl said is true." ”

Yueyao was already a little disappointed in Mother Deng's heart, but thinking that there were many smart people but loyal ones were hard to find, Yueyao also threw away the displeasure in her heart.

Yueyao looked at the Ma family with great interest, reading the novel xstxt with a bit of Jiangnan flavor. Yueyao looked at this courtyard and couldn't help but think about her days in Jiangnan, and it was only in those years that she was really carefree and happy, but unfortunately she could never go back to Jiangnan in this life. The things in Jiangnan are a dream for Yueyao, and those good memories can only be found in dreams.

A maid saw Yueyao and her party and gave a blessing: "Cousin, the master said that the girl would stay in the mansion for two days and then go back, and he had already told his in-laws." "I didn't expect my uncle to love my cousin so much, and the girl obviously brought filial piety and asked the girl to come to the banquet.

Yue Yao smiled and nodded: "Nacheng, I'm going back to Begonia Garden." She said that her uncle must have a lot to say, and he would not let her go back easily.

Yueyao returned to Begonia Garden, guessing that her uncle and cousin should be entertaining guests, so she called Deng's mother to go to the study, and Hua Bud and Qiaolan were outside the study.

When she arrived in the study, Yueyao asked Deng's mother: "Mom, what kind of person is this aunt?" "How could such an absurd request be made.

Mother Deng told Yueyao about the details of Xiao Ma's family, and said a lot, which boiled down to one sentence, the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper.

Yue Yao didn't pay attention to it after learning about Xiao Ma's family, she didn't have too much intersection with this aunt, and she wasn't ready to make friends with Lu Ying. Yue Yao is not a person who can be idle, seeing that Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng have not come over yet, she went to the study to accompany Ting Zheng to practice calligraphy.

Ting Zheng whispered: "Sister, my aunt doesn't like me either. When he said this, he was a little depressed, why so many people didn't like him.

Yue Yao chuckled, "Aunt not only doesn't like you, but she doesn't like me either. However, my sister doesn't like her either. When you meet such a person in the future, Brother Zheng doesn't have to take it to heart, and you don't need to be depressed about such a person. "Unless there is no way to do it under power, if people respect her, she will respect people, and she does not want Tingzheng to be bound by those rules and regulations.

Ting Zheng saw that Yueyao didn't take it to heart: "Well, I listen to my sister." ”

The sister and brother practiced calligraphy for most of the hour, and Yueyao asked Tingzheng to do her homework, and she also took a book she brought with her to read. Today's Yueyao really doesn't waste a minute of time.

This kind of almost obsessive behavior made Deng's mother worried. But no matter how much you try to persuade you, it's useless. Mother Deng was thinking about whether to let her uncle persuade her, but after thinking about it, she shook her head. Uncle estimated that he would only be happy when he heard it, and where would he persuade him.

Yueyao was reading the book when she heard the maid outside calling the girl.

As soon as Yueyao heard the footsteps, she knew that it was Ma Linlin coming. originally thought that Ma Linlin was coming to trouble her, but she didn't expect Ma Linlin to come over to apologize to her.

Yue Yao glanced at Ma Linlin, and said with a smile: "Cousin, what happened last time was just a misunderstanding, I didn't take it to heart, and I hope my cousin doesn't take it to heart." "Last time Ma Linlin made a big fuss in Begonia Garden, Ma Chengteng replaced all the maids and women around Ma Linlin, and also locked Ma Linlin for half a year, so that Ma Linlin had enough suffering. It was also half a year for Ma Linlin to learn to be obedient.

As soon as Yueyao's words fell, Ma Chengteng and Ma Peng walked in.

After experiencing the scientific expedition, Ma Chengteng is full of gratitude to this niece, if his son was not a niece, he would never have today.

Although people can donate fame, their future is limited, and the four officials are the limit. But now my son is not only admitted to the Jinshi, but also entered Hanlin, and has such a good in-law from the banker. As long as nothing goes wrong, the future will definitely be good, and all of this is due to Yueyao. If it weren't for Yueyao guessing that her sister Tuomeng was talking about the topic of the scientific examination, Peng'er would not be where she is today.

Ma Peng was even more grateful. He knew that his talent was limited, and it was already an unexpected joy to be able to be admitted to the Jinshi because of his aunt's blessing. His father told him to love his cousin as his own sister in the future, but in fact, even if his father didn't say it, he would treat Yueyao as his own sister.

Yue Yao approached: "Uncle, cousin." ”

Ma Chengteng looked at Ma Linlin, he heard what he said just now, thinking that his daughter had grown up in the past six months, which was very good.

Yue Yao followed Ma Chengteng and talked to Ma Peng, and when she saw Ma Linlin standing on the side and behaved, she understood that Ma Linlin came over because the drunkard did not mean to drink.

Ma Chengteng said to Yue Yao alone, and said to Ma Linlin and Ma Peng: "You all go back." He still has something to say to Yueyao.

Ma Peng really wants to treat Yueyao as his own sister as his father said, but the two are not familiar with each other, and there is too much age difference and no common topic: "Cousin, if you have something to do in the future, you can find me." "It's also a commitment.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Ma Linlin glared at Yue Yao fiercely where Ma Chengteng couldn't see it, in the past, this eldest brother was indifferent to herself, but she didn't expect that Yue Yao would surpass her. She is the eldest brother's sister, Yueyao is in the next room, it seems that this girl is a disaster.

Yue Yao also smiled faintly at Ma Linlin's unkind expression, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

There were only two people left in the study, and Ma Chengteng couldn't help but ask: "Yueyao, did your mother say anything else besides this?" ”

Yueyao was speechless in her heart, this is the inferior nature of people, if she takes a shortcut, she always wants to take a shortcut: "No, my mother gave me a dream, if it weren't for Yu Zida's reputation, I wouldn't have this doubt." During this time, Yu Zida's preaching filled the entire capital, what was unforgettable, what was quick-witted, anyway, the words of praise were full of brains, which made people embarrassed.

In fact, Yu Zida is indeed worthy of praise, as far as Yue Yao knows, Yu Zida climbed to the official position of Zheng Erpin in just twenty years and became the emperor's confidant and courtier, and he can't do it without enough means and scheming.

Ma Chengteng was a little disappointed, but quickly restrained these emotions and took out a deed paper from his sleeve: "Yueyao, uncle doesn't have any good things for you, you take these things." ”

Yue Yao took it and saw that it was a contract paper with twenty tilts and two shops. Yueyao couldn't cry, is this a thank you gift?

Ma Chengteng naturally knew that these things were drizzle compared to his son's future, "Yueyao, this is just a little bit of uncle's heart, you take it." ”

But if you really measure it, these are not enough at all: "Uncle, I won't ask for these things, but I have one thing I want to ask uncle." ”

Ma Chengteng hurriedly said: "You say." "He will never shirk what he can do.

Yue Yao said one of her thoughts: "Uncle, I want to wait for the right opportunity, I hope that my uncle can come forward to get my mother's dowry back, and I have to take care of it myself to rest assured." "Yueyao means that when her grandmother dies, she will take care of the money herself and put it in Mo's hands, which is equivalent to a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.

Yueyao Qinggao is still there, but she no longer regards her daughter as dung like in her previous life, money can make ghosts grind, she will live in Lianfu for several years in the future and only spend no income, it is true that she has money in her hands, but Yueyao does not plan to use these big money, and it is always inappropriate to sit and eat empty. As far as Yue Yao knew, her mother's dowry included four Zhuangzi more than 20 dumps, four shops, and two mansions, just the annual rent collection and rent collection were enough for all the expenses.

Ma Chengteng thought for a while and said, "Is the old lady in good health?" ”

Yue Yao's face was gloomy: "The doctor said, it will probably be in the next year or two." "The old lady's health is not very good, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person to a big blow, and it is already the end of the crossbow.

Ma Chengteng was a little worried: "Can you take care of it?" Even if the old lady was only eleven years old two years later, with such a large dowry, an eleven-year-old child could take care of it, Ma Chengteng expressed serious doubts.

Yue Yao smiled lightly: "I remember that my cousin-in-law started to take care of Mrs. Zhuang's dowry when she was eight years old, if there is anything I don't understand, I am ready to ask my cousin-in-law for advice." ”

Ma Chengteng naturally knew that the daughter-in-law who would enter the door was shrewd and capable, and it was because he knew that he was more satisfied. He and his son don't have any general affairs, Cheng is a person who only spends lavishly, and he also likes to use his husband's money to help his mother's family: "Okay, when the time comes, my uncle will help you get back the dowry and take care of it for yourself." "It's really not possible, the shops and houses are all rented out, plus the harvest of the grange, it is also a lot of income every year, which is much better than handing it over to the greedy Mo family.

After talking to Ma Chengteng a lot, Yueyao said: "Uncle, my grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, and I want to spend more time with her now." ”

Yueyao wants to be filial, and Ma Chengteng naturally won't stop her.

As soon as Yue Yao got into the carriage, she saw a rosewood rectangular box on it, and it was natural to use such a precious box to hold good things.

Opening the box, the moon was messy in the wind. In the lead box, there are magnolia flower corner pen holders, green jade water handy, green jade round wash, green jade ink bed, green jade animal head paperweight, official kiln entwined branch lotus pattern porcelain inkstone, carved ivory pen holder, purple brush......

Yue Yao took out a pen holder and looked at it upside down, shaking her head. Uncle is really generous this time, if she knew before, she would never have wanted it.

Mother Deng felt that Yueyao took these for granted, if there was no girl, how could the young master be successful. With a good future, these things are nothing, so for Yueyao's uneasiness, she really thinks that the girl thinks too much.

Yue Yao glanced at Mother Deng: "This whole set of things is something from the previous dynasty and an antiquity. I thought it should be my uncle's favorite thing, and I was reluctant to use it when I put it away on weekdays. "It's not about the value of the things, it's about the fact that this set of things is what my uncle likes.

Mother Deng understood Yueyao's expression at the moment and didn't speak again.

Hua Bud, who didn't know the truth, said with a smile: "Uncle really loves the girl. "This set of good things is worth a lot of money!

Yue Yao smiled faintly.

Back at Lian's house, Yueyao naturally went to the upper room to greet the old lady first, and accompanied the old lady for more than half an hour before returning to Lanxi Courtyard.

The old lady didn't think much about Ma Chengteng giving such a valuable gift to Yueyao, she only thought that Ma Chengteng loved her niece. But Mo didn't think so: "Whether the Ma family is too generous to Yueyao or not, I don't know what's wrong with it." "Mo's intuition, Yueyao handed over all the family wealth to the Ma family.

Mrs. Liu disagreed: "Madam, I think the third girl is extremely cautious now, and she should not hand over the money to the Ma family." The Ma family has a big business, and they don't care about the third girl's money. "It can be seen from the fact that the Ma family gave the three girls silver and so many good things, and the Ma family has a strong foundation and will definitely not covet the silver money in the hands of the three girls.

Mo didn't say anything, no one knew what he thought.
