046 Take sides
The old lady then instructed Bu's mother to ask the shopkeeper Hong to pick out a few more sets of Shixin jewelry suitable for Chen Mintao's age to go to her yard, and asked Chen Mintao to choose two sets by herself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, Chen Minran and Chen Minke, who had not noses and eyes just now, turned their heads at the same time and glared at Chen Mintao, seeing that his face was dazed and avoided one after another.
The fastest reaction was Chen Minke, "Grandmother loves us the most, I am my grandmother, naturally I have to learn from it, grandmother loves the fourth sister, I also love it as a sister, I also pick a few childhood gadgets to send to the fourth sister after school in the afternoon, and it is also considered to be a fun thing for my grandmother!" ”
Chen Mintao couldn't cry or laugh, she really wanted to say to Chen Minke: Child, you misunderstood what your grandmother meant, she wanted to disgust you two with me!
Sure enough, the old lady was surprised when she heard this, but in the end, she still threw a relieved glance at Chen Minke, and was just looked at by Chen Minran, and immediately became even more angry.
Chen Mintao, who watched the lawsuit, replied with a smile, "Thank you, grandmother, thank you, second sister!" Ignoring Chen Minran, who was angry and completely forgot to answer, Chen Mintao still felt that even if he gave time to wait for Chen Minran, it is estimated that he would not be able to remember to take the next sentence: I will also prepare some gifts for the fourth sister, and send such simple words to the fourth sister in the afternoon, after all, for some people, it is more difficult to grind off the edges and corners and follow the crowd than to die.
The three little girls were playing with the new pendant here warmly, the eldest lady Chen Liao and the third daughter-in-law turned their heads and continued the trivial matters at home, the eldest lady just frowned slightly after hearing Chen Minran's words, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing that the elders all turned their heads, the third lady Chen Minran turned her back to the direction of the elders in the hall and flew a blatant eye knife at Chen Minke, and put the cabbage agate pendant in her hand back into the box as if she was angry, and turned to pick up the pendant, "I want this, this jade is more translucent, although the cabbage agate carving is good, it is still this smart and smart, lining my mind!" ”
Chen Mintao's heart was slightly sunny, just now she stood aside, and saw that Chen Minran and Chen Minke didn't move, knowing that these two didn't like to hang a bug on their bodies, so they held it and looked at it casually.
Chen Minke flattered the old lady by giving Chen Mintao something, Chen Minran wanted to come with her, didn't you give her something, then I will snatch her fancy it!
Seeing that Chen Mintao was only staring at the one who knew it, he thought that he was interested in Diao Zhi, and took the lead, disgusting Chen Minke first, and forcing Chen Mintao to stand in line.
I took what you liked, and you can only pick up the cabbage I don't want!
"Then I'll choose this cabbage, this cabbage leaf carving is really beautiful!" Chen Minke answered at the right time, picked up the cabbage and handed it to the big girl Banyan Tree, which was regarded as giving Chen Mintao a step.
Chen Minke put down the plum blossom pendant that he was optimistic about before and took the carved cabbage, which not only smoothed out Chen Minran's righteous dispute, but also got Chen Mintao to remember her well, Chen Mintao can't stand on Chen Minke's side now.
Seeing that Chen Minke unexpectedly accepted the cabbage pendant, Chen Minran glared at him again in annoyance, and then turned his head and glared at Chen Mintao fiercely.
Ho, this is completely hated! Sure enough, Chen Minke sang and sang three times and pulled herself, an outsider, into her camp, and the little girl had enough fun with this trick!
Raising his head to give a grateful look, Chen Mintao obediently approached Chen Minke's side, since someone chose himself first, of course Chen Mintao didn't mind opening his arms to the other party, took the remaining plum blossom pendant in the box, turned his head and handed it to Qiu Ju to put away, the carving of this plum blossom pendant is obviously not as good as the other two, but it is better than a good match, just the one he was a little bit of at the beginning.
The elders in the main hall were discussing business, and the three little masters said goodbye to Mr. Hui's Tao Haixuan to attend class.
Chen Minran, who was not going well, held back the fire in his belly, and was stumbling and beating throughout the class, using stationery and books to vent his anger.
Mr. Hui, who had long been surprised, was still amiable, and continued to put on a decent poker face unmoved, held the scroll, sat behind the chair, and began to explain when she had fallen enough.
Chen Minke, who was happy to shine at Anshi, no longer competed with Chen Minran at this time, let Chen Minran snort left and right and scolded, just sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, pinched the scroll and read silently, without saying a word from beginning to end.
After a while, Mr. Hui's warm lecture sounded in his ears, holding a thin pen tube in his hand, Chen Mintao sat quietly in the last row of the classroom, using a bookshelf, hiding behind and writing hard.
Mr. Hui's teaching skills are mediocre, no different from reading from a book, basically equivalent to the hypnotic divine comedy, Chen Mintao listened to it on the first day and found that he couldn't learn anything from it except for the instrument, anyway, he may not be able to use it, Chen Mintao began to study his first novel in ancient times, and the first volume was published three months ago.
Occasionally, I heard one or two boudoir ladies mention their works at the banquet, and I was really excited, although the content was extremely sloppy and secondary, but it was completely in accordance with the current fashionable children's love routine, the book is called "Floating Mess", like all ancient romance novels, the beginning is about a romantic love story of an official lady marrying a poor and sour talent, the book is said to be okay, Chen Mintao is now concentrating on studying the plot direction and role positioning of the second volume.
As for the personal grievances between Chen Minran and Chen Minke, Chen Mintao thinks that he doesn't have the ability to open up the two of them, so that the two of them can release their previous suspicions and turn enemies into friends and shake hands and make peace, which is something that several elders in the house should worry about, their own mothers and grandmothers can't understand, let alone outsiders, and the most important thing is that they are busy writing books, and they are so busy writing books that they really can't spare extra energy to take care of the two little girls as nannies.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full, the reality is always your unexpected sense of skin, the servants go in and out every day, listen to classes in a classroom, and settle in the morning and dusk in a courtyard, Chen Mintao is a half-grown child, and the possibility of avoiding the two difficult sisters above is basically zero, unless Chen Mintao is willing to take the initiative to give up all her social functions, and completely shrink into the small courtyard in the northwest corner of the small courtyard without seeing anyone and not handing over anyone, but it is undoubtedly a dead end, not killed by the enemy, but suffocated by himself.
In fact, Chen Minran and Chen Minke are the same age, only four months before and after their birthdays, and they have no choice but to be naturally tied together from birth for comparison.
According to the information inquired by the capable Sister Qiuxiang, it turned out that before the division of the East and West Mansions, there were many other sisters persuading and coaxing on the side, especially the eldest lady of the West Mansion, Chen Minran's sister-in-law Chen Minya was pressing, Chen Minran and Chen Minke couldn't make any big trouble, but since Chen Minya got married more than a year ago, the Chen family was divided into the East and the West, Chen Minran and Chen Minke looked up and didn't look down, and the West Mansion really couldn't pick out the second little sister for them to practice.
This is just a few times, Chen Minran, who has always been covered by his eldest sister, is obviously a little powerless, although Chen Minke, who is a little clever and wins, although his methods are still too clumsy, but he can already get a glimpse of his seven-point nature.
Chen Mintao's interest in the mother of the two hairy children is completely greater than the two hairy children themselves, Chen Minran is standing behind the long-room Chen Liang's, Chen Minke is naturally behind the three-room Chen Wang's family, the eldest master and the third master don't care first, just looking at the mother, how can it be Chen Liang's more reliable, Chen Wang's is from a military general's family, and the charm of everyone on his body is a little anxious.
It's a pity that Chen Mintao doesn't plan to stand in the team of which room, because from the very beginning, the position of the heads of each room of the Chen family is so clear and clear, the long room and the third room break the bones and connect the tendons, they are the bloodline of the same mother's compatriots, Chen Liao's own children and grandchildren, she is the daughter of the second son of the deceased Aunt Ge, and the brand of a concubine can't be erased, plus the property of the Chen Lu family and those old grudges that rot their teeth, he naturally stands on the opposite side of the entire Chen family, and it has nothing to do with revenge, just pure interests.
The second master Chen Guangbo and the second wife Chen Lu are just unfamiliar codes in Chen Mintao's heart, although they occupy the identity of an orphan girl in the second room, but they have no sense of substitution at all.
Even when the people of the Chen family tore apart their moral faces and greedily embezzled the property of the second house shamelessly, it did not make Chen Mintao feel that there was something wrong with it, driven by interests, in the face of opportunities and wealth, everyone relied on their own abilities.
Therefore, no matter what kind of friendship Chen Minran or Chen Minke and the two little girls have with Chen Mintao in private, it will not affect the helpless reality that Chen Mintao is the heir to the second estate, that is, the opposite of the east and west of the Chen family, so if you ask her which enemy she would prefer to play with, Chen Mintao's answer can only be: It depends on the mood.
