Chapter 017: Encounter Again

ยท

Xu Chenglang went to ride a horse, what did she do in the past?

Zhen Baolu frowned and wanted to refuse, but remembering her previous life, she liked to stay with Xu Chenglang, and she also liked his heroic posture on a horse, so when she heard the news, she would definitely go over to see it. Xu Chenglang is her closest cousin, he is in the limelight, and she is also honored.

Zhen Baolu thought about it.

Leaving aside his previous life, he finally married Shen Shenyu, and the rest left to her are all good memories. It's a pity that she doesn't want to settle, and she is very happy that she can marry him in this life, as long as she thinks of her aunt's face, she feels that her cousin Xu is not much better.

Seeing that her girl didn't speak, Xiangtao asked again: "Is the girl going?" โ€

Zhen Baolu didn't think much about it, turned the page of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in his hand, and said, "Just tell my cousin Xiuxin, I'm busy with schoolwork these days and can't pass." "If she went over and saw a group of young boys, what was there to see?

Zhen Baoqiong, who had just come in, saw her sister holding a book on her face, and smiled: "Sister." โ€

"Sister!"

Zhen Baolu immediately put down the book, got down from the rose chair, walked in front of Zhen Baoqiong, raised her head and said, "Why did my sister come over?" โ€

Zhen Baoqiong said: "Mama Ge made some snacks, I'll bring them over for you to taste." โ€

Zhen Baolu's eyes were crooked, and she said coquettishly: "Sister is so good, I just happened to be hungry." โ€

Zhen Baoqiong ordered the maid Bizhu to bring out the rock sugar lotus seed porridge, silk cakes and chestnut cakes in the mahogany carved food box, and gently rested them on the semi-circular table with red sandalwood passionflower pattern. Zhen Baolu took the chopsticks and took a piece of silk cake, took a bite lightly, and then said with a smile in his eyes: "This silk cake is crystal clear, crispy and greasy, it is really delicious, and Mama Ge's cooking skills are really good." โ€

Zhen Baoqiong doted: "Since you like it, eat more." Then she picked up the book that her sister was reading at random, and Zhen Baoqiong turned a few pages before frowning slightly.

Zhen Baolu took a bite of the silk cake, her voice was a little vague, and she said embarrassedly: "I took it casually...... Some don't understand. โ€

It's normal to not understand, Zhen Baoqiong knows that her sister is smart and hardworking, but this "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is too difficult, how can she understand it as a little girl?

Zhen Baolu scooped a mouthful of lotus seed porridge, although the little girl was lively, she could eat, but she was also quite polite, and did not make the slightest sound of porcelain collision. However, this book is naturally not taken by Zhen Baolu casually, she has an advantage in this life, and as long as she puts her mind to it, things can learn quite quickly, the reason why she reads this "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" is because she was the least good at this aspect in her previous life. It seems that the girl's family has a hard time learning this, and her sister and Zhen Baozhang were the worst at this arithmetic in their previous life.

Zhen Baoqiong smiled and said, "It's okay to take a look." โ€

Zhen Baolu smiled and nodded.

Zhen Baoqiong said: "You said you can't go, but what are you doing?" โ€

Zhen Baolu pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Cousin Xiuxin asked me to go over with Ming'er to watch Cousin Xu ride a horse with her." โ€

During these days, Zhen Baoqiong got close to her sister, and of course she noticed that her sister treated Xu Chenglang differently. In the past, her sister treated Xu Chenglang more affectionately than her cousin in Fuzhong, but in the past few days, her sister rarely mentioned Xu Chenglang. Recalling the scene of the three baptisms of the younger brothers that day, Zhen Baoqiong felt that it should be her sister and Cousin Xu who lost their temper. Zhen Baoqiong admired Xu Chenglang, and felt that with his temperament, it was impossible to make his sister angry, so ......

Zhen Baoqiong looked down and saw that her sister's little face was pink and jade, very cute. In her opinion, her sister is the most beautiful and intelligent little girl in the world.

They're all cousins, so they shouldn't be angry.

Zhen Baoqiong sighed in her heart and said, "You have worked hard in the past few days, and my sister has seen it in her eyes." There is still half a month before the test, and it is not a solution to stay in the house to study all the time. Ming'er doesn't happen to be a day off, you and your cousin Xiuxin have always been wrong, and now she sincerely invites her, so take this opportunity to release your past suspicions with her. She's just squeamish by her aunt, and there's nothing bad about it. โ€

Zhen Baolu knew that in the eyes of her sister, how could there be any bad people in this world? She couldn't resist it for a while, and with a helpless little round face, she said again and again: "I can't listen to my sister." Afraid that her sister would continue, Zhen Baolu reached out and picked up a piece of golden soft and glutinous chestnut cake from the chrysanthemum petal pattern white porcelain plate, stuffed it into Zhen Baoqiong's mouth, and said, "Sister eats it too." โ€

Facing her sister's big wet eyes, Zhen Baoqiong paused, and then took it and ate it.

ยท

The next day, Xu Chenglang came to pick up people in person.

Zhen Baolu got into the carriage of the Marquis of Changning Mansion and opened the carriage curtain, but saw that Xu Xiuxin was the only one inside, and when she saw someone she didn't like, Zhen Baolu's little face naturally collapsed slightly. And Xu Xiuxin was also annoyed, glared at her with big eyes, and said, "Don't look at me like that, I don't like to be with you." โ€

Zhen Baolu originally wanted her sister to accompany her, but her sister was almost twelve years old after all, so it was not good to go out to play anymore. Zhen Baolu thought about it, it was really boring to stay in the house these days, and her sister had the heart to let her and Xu Xiuxin release their suspicions, and she didn't want to disappoint her sister. However, in this life, she doesn't want to marry Xu Chenglang, so naturally she doesn't need to put up with Xu Xiuxin everywhere.

I thought there was a cousin Jinxin who was easy to get along with.

At this time, Xu Chenglang opened the curtain and took a look, and saw the two little girls in the carriage, both with their faces down, looking disgusted with each other.

He understands his sister's temper, but his little cousin ......

Xu Chenglang handed over the small porcelain jar in his hand and said, "Cousin Lu, there is still some distance from the western suburbs, you can take this and eat it on the road." โ€

And what?

Zhen Baolu saw that her cousin Xu had a gentle smile, but it was not easy to refuse, so she took the small porcelain jar, opened the lid, and saw that it was full of cans of pine nuts.

It's all peeled pine nuts.

Zhen Baolu paused, saying that she was not moved, it was fake. After all, at that time, he patiently took care of her and comforted her from beginning to end.

Xu Chenglang quietly looked at his little cousin's face, although he didn't know why she was angry, but after all, he was a few years older than her, and when he was a cousin, he should naturally let her more. He hoped that his little cousin would be as close to him as before, so he carefully examined her expression.

Xu Xiuxin, who was sitting next to Zhen Baolu, was already quite dissatisfied when she saw that her eldest brother was so good to Zhen Baolu in front of her, and then looked at this Zhen Baolu, who got a can of pine nuts peeled by her eldest brother, and she didn't have any words of gratitude, Xu Xiuxin was a little unhappy with her eldest brother, so she said angrily: "What? My eldest brother treats you so well, and you are so ignorant of lifting? Okay, since you don't like to eat pine nuts, then I'll give this one to me. โ€

As he spoke, he snatched the jar of pine nuts from Zhen Baolu's arms without hesitation and held them in his arms.

Xu Chenglang looked at his sister helplessly and said, "Xiuxin, give this back to Alu." I prepared an osmanthus cake for you. โ€

Xu Xiuxin had tears in her eyes, shook her head, and pouted: "Don't, I want this." โ€

In the eyes of a child, what is snatched is always the best.

Zhen Baolu, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly spoke: "No need Cousin Xu, I don't like pine nuts very much, since Cousin Xiuxin likes it, then give it to her." โ€

Hearing Zhen Baolu say this, Xu Chenglang didn't want to say anything, only said a few words, and got off the carriage and got on the horse.

The carriage drove steadily, Xu Xiuxin, who was holding the pine nut jar, turned her eyes around with bone, and glanced at Zhen Baolu beside her vigilantly, thinking that she was making a show for her eldest brother, but now looking at her, she really has no intention of going back.

At this time, Xu Xiuxin was puzzled, and gently "belched".

Zhen Baolu knew that Xu Xiuxin was calling her, but she shouldn't. What a belch, she's not without a name.

Xu Xiuxin muttered a sentence before reluctantly saying, "Cousin Lu." โ€

Zhen Baolu responded lightly.

"You...... Do you really want it? โ€

Zhen Baolu smiled and turned her head sideways, looked at the confusion and surprise on Xu Xiuxin's little face, and then said, "Well, here you go." โ€

Xu Xiuxin is also a girl from the Marquis of Changning, who wears gold and silver on weekdays, how can a jar of pine nuts be rare. She wanted it, but it was because it was the pine nut kernel that Zhen Baolu liked to eat. At this time, seeing that Zhen Baolu really didn't want it, she felt that she was so embarrassed that she didn't want things. Xu Xiuxin hurriedly put aside the pine nut jar that she had originally regarded as a treasure in her arms, pouted slightly, and never spoke to Zhen Baolu again.

This temper is really big.

Zhen Baolu looked at the pine nut jar, lowered her eyes slightly, and knew that it must have been peeled by Xu Chenglang himself. However, looking at Xu Xiuxin's appearance at the moment, Zhen Baolu suddenly thought of herself in her previous life.

In her previous life, her aunt didn't like her, and her grandmother didn't want Xu Chenglang to marry her, and Xu Xiuxin couldn't tolerate her, and everyone felt that she was not worthy of Xu Chenglang. She is stubborn, the more she is like this, the more she doesn't want them to be happy, and the more she wants to marry Xu Chenglang.

Zhen Baolu smiled suddenly, thinking about it now, she was really stupid at that time.

Xu Xiuxin is a lively person, it is common to quarrel with Zhen Baolu on weekdays, and as soon as the two of them meet, they will crackle and quarrel like a cannonball, but at this time Zhen Baolu is quiet, and Xu Xiuxin is not comfortable sitting down. She raised her eyes and took a look, and saw that Zhen Baolu was wearing a red riding costume today, clean and neat, with a round little face that was a little fleshy, but it was extremely tender when she looked at it, and it was the slightly pursed lip flap, which was very good-looking.

Why is such a nasty person so good-looking?

Xu Xiuxin was dissatisfied. At a young age, a little girl already has some of her own understanding of appearance. She had seen her aunt Xu, and every time she saw her aunt, she thought that it would be good if she could be as beautiful as her in the future. When Zhen Baolu grows up, she must be as beautiful as her aunt.

Xu Xiu's heart was a little sullen. Moreover, I don't know what's going on, Zhen Baolu, who was as unruly as her in the past, now sits in a straight posture, not at all as lazy as she used to be.

Xu Xiuxin knows the rules, and her mother told her that in front of outsiders, especially in front of nobles, you must be extraordinarily dignified, which is the demeanor of everyone's ladies. said a lot, Xu Xiuxin couldn't take this as a deaf ear, every time she just learned from her sister's appearance and stood beside her obediently. This Zhen Baolu, my aunt also told her in private, right? But there is no one at this time, who is she doing with such a gesture?

What a hypocrisy!

Xu Xiuxin didn't know what was going on with her, she hated Zhen Baolu more and more, and heard that she had been studying hard recently......

"I heard that Cousin Lu is going to take the women's school exam in the future?"

Zhen Baolu paused, but it was strange, who did she listen to?

Before Zhen Baolu could speak, Xu Xiuxin continued: "Women's school is not something that can be entered casually, unless it is like my sister, you still have to do your best." This tone is as if Zhen Baolu can't get into the women's school, and she can get some benefits.

Zhen Baolu glanced at this delicate little cousin and said, "You can't enter by yourself, and you don't allow others to enter?" โ€

Xu Xiuxin twisted her eyebrows and said, "You-"

Zhen Baolu curled her lips and continued to say leisurely: "I heard that Cousin Xiuxin, you couldn't even memorize the three-character scripture when you were six years old. โ€

In the Great Zhou, which emphasizes literature and light martial arts, it is really a shame that he can't recite the three-character scripture at such an age. It is also said that when she was seven or eight years old, she still wetted the bed.

For a while, Xu Xiuxin was speechless, and she was ashamed at a young age, her fair-skinned little face burned red, her big eyes were full of tears, and she snorted sullenly, and ignored Zhen Baolu.

Zhen Baolu didn't feel any joy in her heart, looking at Xu Xiuxin's aggrieved and sobbing appearance, she bent down slightly, looked at her low cheeks, and saw her teary eyes, and the golden beans fell with a snap, so she put her hands on her cheeks and said: "You can't talk about me, don't always fight with me in the future, you will be the one who cries your nose at that time." She saw Xu Xiu's heart snorting coldly, still crying, so she disgusted, "It's so ugly." โ€

At this time, Xu Xiuxin sniffed, glared at her fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are ugly." Thinking that her mother had told her that a little girl can't cry, and if she cries, she will become ugly, Xu Xiuxin bit her lip, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and stopped crying.

Xu Xiuxin said: "You can't enter the women's school!" โ€

Zhen Baolu bent her eyes and smiled, and said, "Then if the next time I enter the women's school and hold a banquet to celebrate, I will ask my mother to send someone to send a post over, and my cousin Xiuxin must come." โ€

It's annoying! Xu Xiuxin snorted and stopped talking.

Zhen Baolu was happy in her heart, why didn't she think that this Xu Xiuxin was still a little cute.

Xu is carriage passed by the osmanthus tree, and Zhen Baolu smelled a fragrant fragrance between her noses. The little girl lifted the curtain of Chexuan with a smile on her face, looked outside, and really saw a row of osmanthus trees planted next to the tree.

Xu Chenglang rode a horse beside the carriage, looked at the cheeks of his little cousin, and said, "Don't stick it out, be careful of your head." โ€

Zhen Baolu let out an "oh" and looked at him again.

Looking at her, Cousin Xu, has two eyes, a nose and a mouth, and there is nothing special about it. Isn't everyone like that? Thinking about it like this, Zhen Baolu was relieved. In this life, she only sees him as an ordinary cousin, and if he marries Shen Shenyu next time, she will happily go over to eat this happy wine.

The sound of horses chattering came from behind, and Xu Chenglang turned around to take a look.

The young man had a handsome face with a gentle smile, but he was a little more detached, and said politely to the visitor: "Senior Prince Xue, Second Prince Xue." โ€
