Zhen Rusong also said: "Yes." Your cousin Xue saved Brother Rong this time, we should really thank you. Speaking of Xue Rang, Zhen Rusong's eyes were full of relief. Since Xue Rang asked Mr. Yunhe to cure him of the epidemic three years ago, Zhen Rusong naturally paid more attention to Xue Rang.
He looked at his daughter, and his eyebrows softened a little. sighed in his heart, and before he knew it, his daughter had grown into a big girl.
Zhen Baolu nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go tomorrow morning." She wanted to bring Xue Rang some food, but now that she thought about it, she didn't even know his taste. Zhen Baolu is a heartless person, as it was in her previous life, and she didn't even care about her two younger brothers. Although she has experienced two lives, her personality does not change just by changing, she is just an ordinary person, she can only do her best as much as possible, and it is impossible to become perfect all at once.
Zhen Rusong raised his hand and stroked his daughter's head, and said, "Okay, you go back, I'll go see your mother." β
Zhen Baolu answered, and then returned to her own Youyouxuan.
In the house, the Xu family was still guarding Brother Rong'er's couch, and his eyes were still red. At this time, Xu's clothes were clean and his hair was neat, but when he came back with Brother Rong in his arms, he was already disheveled and disheveled, and he was not a wolf. Zhen Rusong walked in slowly, saw his wife's appearance, and knew that she was blaming herself.
Xu Shi looked at his white and chubby son on the couch, and only when he noticed that someone was putting his hand on her shoulder, he turned around: "Grandpa Guo......" gestured to get up.
Zhen Rusong said: "Okay, don't cry and cry, Brother Rong is fine, you can also go back to the room to rest and rest." β
Xu blamed himself: "But it's the concubine's fault today, if it weren't for the concubine meeting Mrs. Jiang, I wouldn't have ignored Brother Rong'er......"
Zhen Rusong didn't know that Mrs. Jiang was his wife's best sister, and she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, so she would inevitably be happy to meet her today.
He pursed his lips and wanted to say something comforting, but in the end he didn't say anything, only said lightly: "It's okay." β
Xu Shi thought that he would comfort him, but when he saw that he only had these three words, there was nothing else, and a pair of beautiful eyes dimmed a little.

The next day, Zhen Baolu went to the Anguo Mansion to see Xue Rang. Zhen Baoqiong didn't worry about her sister going out alone, so she wanted to go with her, but Zhen Baolu thought that her sister was inconvenient these days, so she said that she would stay at home. After all, she just went to the Anguo Mansion, so there was nothing to worry about.
As for the side, Zhen Baolu didn't know Xue Rang's taste, so she prepared some snacks according to her own taste. Xue Rang didn't have anyone around to take care of, and he didn't care about himself. A man's temperament is like this, no matter how careful he is in other things, he is always careless in taking care of himself, and nothing is the same thing. Thinking about it this way, it would have been better if I had married a daughter-in-law earlier.
Today, Xianghan accompanied Zhen Baolu to go, and in the carriage, she looked at her girl and said, "Girl, you didn't sleep well yesterday, why don't you rest for a while." β
Zhen Baolu said no, raised her hand and picked up the curtain to take a look. The lively and bright little girl on weekdays is lightly frowning at this time, and the whole person seems to be covered with a thin layer of mist, adding a bit of melancholy. But a little girl of Zhen Baolu's age should be at an age when she doesn't have to worry about anything, and all she has to worry about every day is what clothes Ming'er wears and what jewelry she wears.
She lowered the curtain and suddenly asked Xianghan, "Do you think my eldest cousin treats me well?" β
Xiang Han glanced at her own girl, and saw her own girl's two beautiful eyes, and looked at her lightly, and her whole person was a little relieved.
She is not as lively as Xiang Tao, and she is also calmer, so she is not in a hurry to answer, and after thinking about it, she said: "Xue Gongzi has always treated girls well, and the slaves and maids have seen it in their eyes. And the girl treats Xue Gongzi like a brother. β
Oh, yes. It's the same as my own brother. Zhen Baolu said in her heart.
She nodded approvingly: "I also think that my eldest cousin treats me very well." β
Xiang Han smiled and thought to himself: Isn't it just good? This Xue Dagongzi is simply good to her girl, if it weren't for the fact that her girl was still young and a child two years earlier, then she would really have to think about other aspects. However, she remembered that the girl of her family liked to be with the eldest son of the Changning Hou Mansion the most, and the Changning Hou Mansion was the lady's maiden family, and the two families often moved around, and her girl would stick to Xu Gongzi from time to time. However, after the age of eight, her girl obviously grew up and became sensible all of a sudden.
After that, Zhen Baolu didn't speak, and rested her hands on her knees in a regular manner, quite decent. When he arrived at the Anguo Mansion, Xiang Han helped Zhen Baolu to get out of the carriage.
Zhen Baolu has a good relationship with Xue Yifang, and she often comes to Anguo Mansion, and when she enters at this time, she is already familiar with the way.
Zhen Baolu first went to Ruyi Hall to see Mrs. Xue, and as soon as she passed, she heard that it was lively inside, as if there were some guests.
Old Madam Xue sat on the main seat, and when she saw Zhen Baolu coming in, she beckoned to her with a smile.
Seeing Mrs. Xue, Zhen Baolu also smiled. In recent years, Mrs. Xue has become more and more fond of Zhen Baolu, and she is smart and well-behaved, Mrs. Xue seems to love her as her own granddaughter, and she is Zhen Baolu's grandmother, Mrs. Xu, and she may not be as interested in Mrs. Xue as she is.
Zhen Baolu hurriedly went over to salute.
The Wang family and the ladies of several rooms were also there, and the one sitting next to Mrs. Xue was the Lu family who had only met yesterday. The Lu family came here on purpose today, dressed up in a down-and-out manner, wearing a long gown with lychee red entwined grape decorations, dignified and noble, with a quiet smile, and very kind.
Zhen Baolu also obediently called someone: "Mrs. Jiang." β
Lu Shi nodded with a smile, and said enviously to Mrs. Xue: "The old lady is really a blessed person, look at this Sister Lu, she is smart, if I look at it every day, I can even eat an extra bowl of rice." β
Mrs. Xue laughed when she heard this, but she had to say that her granddaughter was indeed too outstanding.
In fact, Zhen Baolu is not dressed up carefully today, and the light green skirt she is wearing is also simple and low-key, such as cloud black hair combed into a double hanging bun, with a thin pigtail hanging from her chest, and a simple pearl at the end, and the bun is just a simple red gold ruby butterfly hairpin, although the style is simple, but it also shows the style of the noble lady.
Xue Yifang smiled and took Zhen Baolu's hand and said, "Ah Lu is the most beautiful girl in our female school, I can't get enough of it every day." β
Xue Yifang is lively and cheerful, and can often make Mrs. Xue happy.
And the Wang family, who was standing next to Mrs. Xue, saw her precious girl like a flower standing next to Zhen Baolu, and she was compared to Zhen Baolu, and she secretly scolded in her heart that she was really stupid.
She took a look at this Zhen Baolu, who was still an uneducated wild girl two years ago, since she entered the women's school, her children have changed eighteen years old, and she was even more seductive than her mother-in-law Xu. She still can't handle it...... Wang looked at Mrs. Xue treating Zhen Baolu like that, it was clear that she was not her own granddaughter, and the old lady's posture simply hurt her as her own granddaughter.
As he was talking, he heard a soft and glutinous voice, first called "Mother", and then ran to Lu's side with his little short legs, raised his little hand and said to Lu's: "Mother, is it fragrant?" β
It is a little girl wearing a pink skirt and combing a double bun, about four or five years old.
The little girl's fleshy little hand holds a golden cinnamon, which is fragrant and smells very good.
Zhen Baolu knew that this little girl was Jiang Mei, the only daughter of Mrs. Jiang's Lu family, who was trapped in the attic with Brother Rong yesterday. She looked at this little girl, her appearance followed the Lu family, her little face was clean and fair, her facial features were not outstanding, but she was delicate and attractive, and her eyes were smart and clear. And there is a small, rice-sized cinnabar mole in the center of Xiao Jiangmei's eyebrows, which is very beautiful.
Jiang Mei gave the osmanthus to the Lu family, and then blinked her big watery eyes and smiled at Zhen Baolu: "Sister fairy." β
Zhen Baolu smiled, and said in her heart that this little Jiang Mei is not only cute, but also sweet with this little mouth, no wonder Brother Rong kept talking last night.
Lu Shi also smiled and said to Xiao Jiangmei: "Meimei is good, this is Sister Lu, the sister of Brother Rong who played with Meimei yesterday." β
The little girl's memory is not very good, but yesterday's events were too impressive, and Xiao Jiangmei remembered it.
Jiang Mei shouted softly: "Sister Lu." After that, he worried, "Sister Lu, Brother Rong, is he sick?" Why didn't you come with Sister Lu today? Meimei wants to play with Brother Rong. "At a young age, I know how to care about people.
Zhen Baolu felt that this little girl's pink ball was indeed attractive, so she leaned over a little and gently pinched her white and tender little face, and said, "Brother Rong still has to rest for two days, and in a few days, Sister Lu will take him to play with Meimei, okay?" β
Jiang Mei bent his eyes and said in a childish voice: "Okay, okay." "They were very welcome.
Yesterday, Zhen Baolu heard that Jiang Mei was fine, and now she is lively and cute, as if she is fine, and she is relieved.
Lu Shi hugged his lovely girl into his arms, thinking about yesterday's events, and he was also afraid for a while.
Here the Lu family and Mrs. Xue were talking, while Xue Yifang led Zhen Baolu to Xue Rang's Sihe Residence. As soon as she went out, Xue Yifang wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid my eldest brother will stay in the house to recuperate these days......"
Zhen Baolu's heart trembled, and she paused to look at Xue Yifang: "Is the eldest cousin injured very badly?" β
Xue Yifang was slightly stunned before saying, "Weren't you there yesterday?" This means that she has seen it all, so why should she ask her?
Zhen Baolu was a little embarrassed, but she and Xue Yifang had always said nothing, so she said truthfully: "I was thinking about Brother Rong yesterday, but I didn't notice my eldest cousin. β
Where does Xue Yifang not know Zhen Baolu's temperament, to put it ugly, he is a white-eyed wolf with no conscience, especially the closer the person, the easier it is to ignore. However, she didn't know what to say about her, so she only pouted and said: "It's quite strict, listening to the doctor's meaning, it should have been hit by a burning heavy object, and it just happened that it just hit the right arm that was injured earlier." β
Listening to Xue Yifang's salty and non-salty description, Zhen Baolu was frightened, her hands were clenched tightly in her sleeves, and her palms were a little sweaty, and she could already imagine how dangerous the scene was at that time. But she remembered that when he rescued the two little ones, his expression was faint, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, she said that no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she only looked at Xue Yifang and said, "Is the eldest cousin resting now?" Wouldn't it be inconvenient for me in the past? β
Xue Yifang is a smart person, why can't she see what her eldest brother means to Zhen Baolu? At that moment, he took Zhen Baolu's hand and walked to Siheju, and said as he walked: "My eldest brother hasn't rested, I guess he's bored at this time, you go over and talk to him, it's just right." β
When he arrived outside Sihe Ju, Changsheng, the little maid who was waiting for Xue Rang, was standing outside, seeing Xue Yifang and Zhen Baolu coming, and hurriedly saluted: "Second girl, cousin girl." β
Xue Yifang nodded and led Zhen Baolu in. After bringing Zhen Baolu in, Xue Yifang smiled and slipped away quietly.
When Zhen Baolu entered the bedroom, Xue Rang was sitting on the couch leaning on the pillow, holding on to the book, but with his left hand.
Zhen Baolu looked even more guilty. I was about to talk to Xue Yifang, but when I turned around, I saw no one.
Zhen Baolu has no choice, since she is here, she can only go over hard.
Xue Rang slowly raised his head. He was draped in black hair, wearing only a white bedgown, and his handsome face was calm and indifferent, as if he was reading a book in his spare time as usual, but his thin lips were slightly pale.
Xue Rang quietly looked at the little girl who came over, and saw that she was not as usual today, and when he saw him, he called him cousin with a smile.
So he smiled slightly: "Cousin Lu." β
The man's sideburns are like a knife, his eyebrows are like ink paintings, his snow clothes and ink hair, handsome and unparalleled, and his slender hands are holding books at the moment, adding warmth and elegance.
Zhen Baolu paused for a moment before he went over and said, "Big cousin." He raised the mahogany carved food box in his hand again, curled his lips and smiled, "I brought you some food, I don't know if you like it or not." β
Xue said, "I just happened to be a little hungry. β
Zhen Baolu felt that her eldest cousin was really face-saving, so she immediately put the food box aside.
There are three layers of food boxes, each layer is placed with her favorite pastries, the upper layer is plum blossom cake, which is what Mama Ge is good at, she made a special trip to let the cook in her small kitchen learn from Mama Ge, but Mama Ge made it delicious. On weekdays, if she wants to eat, she asks the cook in the small kitchen to do it, but this time she came to see Xue Rang, so she deliberately troubled Mama Ge. The remaining two layers, one is mung bean cake and the other is jujube paste cake.
Zhen Baolu raised his eyes and asked him, "Which one will the eldest cousin eat first?" β
Xue Rang glanced at the red, green, and green pastries, and smiled in his heart, knowing that these were all her favorite foods, so he said, "It's all done." After saying that, he felt that it was too perfunctory, so he added, "I like them all." β
Zhen Baolu was originally worried, but when he was more relaxed, he took him a piece of plum blossom cake with a smile, and said, "Then try this first." β
Xue Rang reached out to pick it up, originally holding the book in his left hand, so he naturally had to put it down at this time. Zhen Baolu looked at it and didn't say anything, only to see that when Xue Rang took the plum blossom cake, he took the book in his hand and said, "What is the eldest cousin looking at...... Art? She was curious and said, "Big cousin likes to watch this?" β
Xue Rang saw that she was rarely so curious, so he nodded and said, "Well, just take a look." β
Zhen Baolu didn't think much about it, after all, her eldest cousin is a man, and he likes to practice martial arts, and it is normal to see the art of war. She held the book in her hand, looked up at him eating plum blossom cake, and then said embarrassedly: "Yesterday, my eldest cousin saved Brother Rong, I am very grateful." It's just that I was worried about Brother Rong at that time, so I forgot about you......" She knew that what she did was wrong, and she wouldn't make excuses for herself.
Xue Rang paused, then understood the reason why she came today, and said, "It's okay. β
Zhen Baolu knew that Xue Rang would definitely say that it didn't matter, but whether it really didn't matter, she didn't know. She knew that feeling best. Zhen Baolu's drooping eyes were raised, looking at the man on the couch, and she only felt that Xue Rang was a little more elegant than usual.
Zhilan Yushu, the breeze and the moon, nothing more than that.
Zhen Baolu spread out the military book and said to Xue: "Since the eldest cousin's hand is inconvenient, then I will read it for you today, okay?" "She is a person who knows her mistakes and knows how to make amends, Xue Rang was injured in order to save her brother, if she doesn't do something, she will not be happy.
Xue Rang saw that the little girl on the couch looked full of interest, so he said, "Okay, then it's troublesome Cousin Lu." β
Zhen Baolu smiled, said you're welcome, and immediately turned the page and read it.
"Soldiers, treacherous. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave......"
The plum blossom crisp in my hand has been eaten.
Xue Rang raised his eyes slightly, and saw the little girl beside him, with a pink little mouth closed one by one, and reading the book of war with her eyes down. Her voice was already sweet, even when she read this boring military book, it was also soft and glutinous, as if it was a tactful and continuous tune.
Xue Rang looked at her quietly, she liked to move when she was studying, and she happened to bring a pair of gold silk pendant earrings today. but not as much as her eyes.
His gaze wandered back and forth between her earlobes and cheeks, and then the ghost fell on the hem of her dress, and the thin little braid hung from her chest, and the beads at the end of the braid swayed gently, sometimes falling on the round place where it was wrapped, sometimes on the deep valley...... Xue Rang's eyes sank, and he quietly staggered his eyes, his face turned slightly to the other side, and his legs under the brocade quilt were slightly overlapped, covering up that place, in case she could see the clues.
The sweet voice of the little girl was still in her ears, and the two were so close that they could even smell the slightest fragrance on her body clearly.
"Cousin Lu." He spoke suddenly.
Zhen Baolu originally thought that this military book was boring, but he liked to listen to it, so she read it, and when she heard him suddenly call him, she stopped and turned her head to look at him: "Big cousin? β
Xue Rang said lightly: "I'm a little thirsty, can Cousin Lu pour me a glass of water?" β
Zhen Baolu thought that after eating the pastries, she would definitely be thirsty, so she immediately put down the military book in her hand and said, "Well, I'll pour it for you." β
She walked to the square table of the three-bent-legged lotus lotus root by the window, picked up the white porcelain tea cup and poured a glass of water, before walking back to the couch and handing the cup over.
Xue Rang looked at the slender snow-white little hand in front of him, paused, and then only took the cup and drank it.
Zhen Baolu tidied up the hem of her skirt and sat down again, watching him drink water, his throat rolled violently, thinking that the plum blossom cake was indeed too dry. He lowered his eyes lightly, and his thick eyelashes were like two small fans, which were beautiful and made people jealous.
"Big cousin." She called out to him suddenly.
Xue Rang was drinking water, and when he heard her calling him, he turned his head to look at her, and said with thin lips: "What's wrong?" β
Zhen Baolu looked at the handsome face of the man in front of him, hesitated for a while, a pair of big eyes fell on his face, and slowly asked, "You...... Do you like me? β
