When Zhen Baolu returned to Sihe Ju, the sky was already a little dark.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Xue Rang reading a book. The man's big hands are well-proportioned, slender and powerful, and he is holding a book under his eyes and looking at it quietly, quite with the elegant temperament of a scholar. And he was born good-looking, his temples were like knives, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and the soft candlelight hit his face, so quiet that people did not dare to come forward to disturb him.

Zhen Baolu is also a person who likes beauty, and after staying with Xue Rang for a long time, he can see his goodness more and more. used to think that he was a mature and stable brother, but since marrying him, she has gradually discovered his childish side.

Xue Rang was a keen auditor, and as soon as she stepped in, she noticed it. He turned his head to look at her, put down the book in his hand, and got up and walked towards her: "Back?" ”

"Hmm." Zhen Baolu nodded. She was thinking about Fang Cai, although the old lady didn't tell her, but she looked at Zhou Huanting and Xue Cheng, as well as the Wang family, and she could guess it. She said, "Grandmother has given me the middle feed in the house for the time being. ”

Xue Rang looked at his wife's childish little face and slightly frowning eyebrows, raised his hand and stroked it gently, and said, "I'm afraid I won't do it well?" ”

Zhen Baolu thought about it and nodded honestly. It's one thing for her to be angry with the Wang family, but she also knows how many catties and taels she weighs, and this Anguo Mansion is not a small family, where can it be managed casually? Although her mother taught her a lot before she got married, and she studied it seriously, but really doing it is another matter.

Xue Rang saw that she was embarrassed, so he said, "Ah Lu, don't worry, take your time in everything." You just don't believe in yourself, you have to trust your grandmother's vision. Since she has left the matter to you, she has her own intentions. He took her hand and rubbed it gently, "But I'm afraid I'm going to tire you." ”

Zhen Baolu didn't think about the question of whether she was tired or not, after all, this is a good thing. If she wants to gain a foothold in the Anguo Mansion, nothing more direct than this. The old lady also really treated her well, this time not only trusted her, but also gave her an opportunity and test. Zhen Baolu knew that if the Wang family was in charge of Zhongfang for a day in the mansion, she would definitely not treat Xue Rang well, and even she would have to look at her face to live. This time it's not just for herself, even if it's for Xue Rang, she has to work hard to do a good job.

Zhen Baolu smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of hard work. Anyway, you're going to start getting busy in a few days, and I don't have anything to do in the house, so it's good if I can fill it up. ”

A few days after she entered the door, the old lady handed over to her the matter of taking charge of the middle feed, which was enough to give her face, and at the same time, there were many pairs of eyes in the house staring at her, ready to see her jokes. She is self-confident on weekdays, and she is also outstanding in women's school, but because of the environment from childhood to adulthood, she still has a little inferiority complex in her heart, afraid that she will not be able to do well.

Listening to his wife's words, Xue Rang leaned over and kissed her, with a smile in his eyes: "I will definitely come back early every day to accompany you." ”

Zhen Baolu smiled, looking at his expression, as if she was very attached to her. She pursed her lips and said, "I'm not unusual." Seeing that he was going to kiss her again, Zhen Baolu raised her hand and pushed his face away, saying, "By the way, when you go to the flower terrace today, do you see ......?"

According to the words of the fifth brother, Zhou Huanting was on the flower terrace this afternoon, and Xue Rang also went in.

Xue Rang said: "I didn't see it, I just heard it." ”

Zhen Baolu's cheeks burned, thinking back to Zhou Huanting's delicate and weak crying appearance, she naturally understood what Xue Rang heard.

But the Wang family has no reason to harm Xue Cheng, after all, Xue Cheng is in the second room, so he can't get in the way of her. And this week, Huanting clearly likes Xue Rang. Zhen Baolu thought that in today's game, I am afraid that the Wang family set it up for Xue Rang, but I don't know what happened, and let Xue Cheng take advantage of the loophole.

Thinking about it like this, Zhen Baolu really had palpitations, she vaguely heard something fragrant from Gu's words, if there was no Xue Cheng today, but Xue let in......

Xue Rang said again: "Then how did you know that I was there?" ”

Zhen Baolu didn't hide it from him, and said, "It's the fifth brother who sued me." Zhen Baolu didn't expect that this seemingly cold Xue Wugongzi was quite interesting. In the past, Zhen Baolu was not easy to help him clearly, but now that she is in charge of the middle feed of the house, she can try her best to help him. After all, he is the fifth son of the Anguo Mansion, and it is unreasonable to be so down.

Xue Rang Meiyu was indifferent, pursed his lips and did not speak, obviously not interested in this brother.

Zhen Baolu said: "Big cousin, you read the book first, and I'll deal with some things." ”

Xue Rang frowned, reaching out to grab her.

Zhen Baolu is not stupid, she has also learned some things in the past few days with Xue Rang, and she turned around at the moment, and her body escaped from his hands flexibly. She was dressed in fluttering clothes, smiled smartly, and said with a smile: "I'm out." She grinned, and turned away.

Xue Rang stood in place, reluctantly took his hand back, and smiled.

After Zhen Baolu went out, she asked Mama Zhu to bring the maid named Forsythia over. Since today's incident was specially designed by the Wang family for Xue Rang, then this forsythia must have been threatened or bribed by the Wang family, and she couldn't use such a person anymore.

As soon as Forsythia heard Zhen Baolu mention the Duchess of Guo, she cried and knelt down: "The Duchess said that if I don't follow her wishes, I will harm my family." Young lady, the slave maid also has a father with leg disease and a young brother at home, and the slave maid really has no way to ......"

Zhen Baolu can understand, but she can't be soft-hearted, and said to Zhu Mama: "You take ten taels of silver for her and send her out of the house." ”

Forsythia knew that the young lady was already kind, so he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

After dealing with the forsythia, there is one more person. That is the maid Bicao beside Aunt Lan. This green grass is different from forsythia, it is not a maid in her yard, so it is naturally not easy to dispose of it at will. But such a maid, staying by Aunt Lan's side, is always a hidden danger. Unexpectedly, the next day, this green grass disappeared for no reason.

Aunt Lan naturally didn't know what was going on with this green grass, and she was worried for a long time. Zhen Baolu knew in her heart that of course it was the Wang family's doing. This Wang family has such a big incident, if she makes a big deal again, let the old lady know that she is not Xue Cheng, but her eldest son Xue Rang, then the old lady will definitely be furious. Where is this Wang just deprived of the right to be in charge of the feed, and being grounded in copying Buddhist scriptures?

Zhen Baolu hugged the old lady and dialed the two maids to serve Aunt Lan.

On this day, when she came out of the old lady's Ruyi Hall and was about to return to Siheju, she happened to meet Xue Qian, the fifth son.

Looking at Xue Qian at this time, Zhen Baolu had a feeling that her eyes were bright. Seeing that he was wearing a azure round-necked robe, because his body was thinner than ordinary teenagers, he looked a little empty, just a childish and handsome face, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, very handsome.

But...... This motherless child is pitiful. Zhen Baolu looked at the fifth brother and thought of Xue Rang when he was a child.

Xue Qian arched his hand towards her: "Sister-in-law." ”

Xue Qian has always treated her politely. Although Zhen Baolu is not used to it, between uncles and sisters-in-law, they should indeed be so polite and estranged. She nodded at him.

Xue Qian said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

After Zhen Baolu is in charge of the feed, the big and small affairs in this mansion will naturally have to be asked. At first, it was really busy, and sometimes it was busy until the evening. In terms of Xue Qian, Zhen Baolu checked the accounts, and it was recorded in the accounts that the five sons had normal food and clothing every month, new clothes and new shoes, and there was no shortage of everything. But in fact, what came to him didn't even have one-tenth of what it should be, if there was no support from the Wang family, where would those subordinates have such courage?

Zhen Baolu found the mistake, and the Gu family assisted from the side, so he naturally knew about it. Gu grasped this mistake and sued Wang again in front of the old lady. Although the old lady didn't pay attention to this grandson, after listening to Gu's words, she also found this grandson. Looking at this grandson, dressed so down-and-out, and born thin, as a grandmother, she naturally felt distressed when she looked at it, so she made up for it.

In the past few days, a lot of delicious food and drink have been sent to Xue Qian's Yuezhuxuan, which can be said to be bittersweet.

Zhen Baolu said: "I didn't help much. In fact, she did have the intention to help Xue Qian. Although it is necessary to avoid suspicion between uncle and sister-in-law, fortunately, Xue Qian is only a twelve-year-old boy. She just deliberately told her second aunt Gu about it, and after knowing that Gu knew about it, she would definitely go to tell the old lady. As long as the old lady knows about this grandson's situation, no matter what, she will treat him better.

Xue Qian understood in his heart and didn't speak.

Zhen Baolu looked at him and looked silent, as if he saw Xue Rang when he was young, and said: "The Master Tan who taught you before is already old and in poor health, grandmother told me, let me invite you a new one." Also, at the beginning of spring next year, it will be the entrance exam of Egret Academy, and I will register you for someone. ”

The Egret Academy is one of the best academies in the imperial city, and Xue Rang and Xue Tan of the Anguo Mansion studied there. Zhen Baolu knew from Aunt Lan's mouth that these five sons were very smart, and it was said that they had the ability to never forget. Such a teenager should not be buried.

Xue Qian is a teenager in the end, no matter how steady he is, he was a little excited when he heard the four words of Egret Academy, and then said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Zhen Baolu curled her lips and said, "You don't have to thank me. Hurry up and get ready, but don't let your grandmother down. ”

Xue Qian nodded immediately, and after thanking Zhen Baolu, he went back to Zhuxuan's hard work.

Zhen Baolu looked at the young man and was relieved to see that he finally had a little bit of the vigor that a child of this age should have. Just thinking that there are still a lot of ledgers waiting for her to read, it gives her a little headache. If she also had Xue Qian's ability to forget, how good it would be.

Zhen Baolu frowned and went to work dejectedly.

On this day, the old lady called Xue Erye, Gu Shi and Xue Cheng together.

And Zhou Huanting, who was dressed in a blue shirt, stood beside the old lady obediently.

Zhou Huanting was already slender and thin, but after these few days, she has become weaker and weaker.

The old lady looked at Zhou Huanting, looked at her grandson Xue Cheng, and said slowly: "Huanting's matter, I've thought about it for a long time, Brother Cheng, you are not young, this family matter should be settled, Huanting is gentle and virtuous, dignified and generous, I will make the decision to marry her to you today." I think this family affair can also be prepared. ”

If it weren't for the events of that day, it would have been absolutely impossible for the old lady to promise Zhou Huanting to Xue Cheng. No matter what happened to Xue Cheng, he was also the sister-in-law of the second room, so he naturally had to marry a lady who could be on the stage. But this week, Huanting has been in Anguo Mansion for so long, if she is allowed to be Xue Cheng's concubine, what will people outside say about their Anguo Mansion? And the old lady thought of Zhou Huanting's well-behaved and filial piety in recent years, naturally she was also a little distressed, she was already wronged, how could she be a concubine again?

Gu Shi listened, but he didn't follow, and hurriedly said to the old lady: "Mother, you are too partial. Brother Cheng is also a victim of this matter. Although Wan Ting is knowledgeable, she has lost her innocence before she gets married, if this matter is known by others, where can I and the second master still hold our heads? "The Gu family is already picky about their daughter-in-law, where can they see Zhou Huanting?

Zhou Huanting was also aggrieved, and now after listening to Gu's words, she was even more angry and her face turned white, and she cried on the spot.

The old lady said sharply: "This matter is settled, Brother Cheng is a man, a man must dare to act, bullying other people's little girls, what is the reason to be irresponsible?" ”

Xue Cheng has always been romantic, and he is actually sincere to Zhou Huanting's cousin. It's just that Zhou Huanting dangles in front of him all day long, and he doesn't dare to touch her in front of the old lady, so that he can see it, but he can't eat it, so Xue Cheng has some thoughts. But now I finally have it in my mouth. Although that day was her first time, with the help of spices, Xue Cheng did not have any pity, and this Zhou Huanting was as he imagined, with a serious face, and she was not a lewd person in bed?

Xue Cheng said: "Grandmother, my grandson was really confused that day, but when my grandson saw Cousin Zhou, she planned to avoid suspicion, but she pounced on herself, so I ......."

When Zhou Huanting heard Xue Cheng's words, her eyes turned red, she cried in shame, looked at the old lady and said, "Old ancestor ......"

The old lady was teary-eyed by Zhou Huanting, and her heart softened. It's not that she hasn't heard of the foolish things that her bastard grandson did, but this time, if she wronged Zhou Huanting, it would be difficult to explain it to the Zhou family.

The old lady said with a straight face: "I only ask you one thing - this Huanting, will you marry or not?" ”

Xue Cheng pursed his lips, and was also a little afraid of the old lady's majesty, knowing that if he didn't agree today, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. Thinking that Zhou Huanting's taste was not bad, Xue Cheng reluctantly said: "My grandson listens to my grandmother and agrees to marry Cousin Zhou." ”

"Brother Cheng!" Gu almost screamed.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, gently patted the back of Zhou Huanting's hand beside her, and said to Xue Cheng, "Good boy." He said to the Gu family again, "Since Brother Cheng himself has agreed, then this matter is decided, and I will send someone to sue the Zhou family tomorrow." Brother Cheng is the eldest son of the second room, and this family matter is also sloppy, you hurry up and get ready, let these two children get married as soon as possible, and save yourself from making any more trouble. ”

Gu bit his lower lip, annoyed Zhou Huanting in his heart, but he hated Wang even more, and said reluctantly: "My daughter-in-law knows." ”

・

Xue Cheng wanted to marry Zhou Huanting, of course, Zhen Baolu also knew about it for the first time. It's just that this week, Huanting lost her virginity before marriage, even if she married Xue Cheng, with Gu's temperament, I am afraid that she will be difficult everywhere.

Zhen Baolu said to Xiang Han, who came to tell him: "I know." ”

Then he yawned and closed the ledger.

When Zhen Baolu returned to Sihe Ju, she saw the delicate and unique swing under the grape trellis in the courtyard, and curved her lips to show a smile. Xue Rang really treated her too well, and he remembered everything she said. It's just that she's too busy these days to sit on this swing at all.

Zhen Baolu entered, and Xue Rang greeted her, stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms: "Are you tired?" ”

The man's voice was gentle and low, it was very comfortable to listen to, Zhen Baolu bent her lips and squinted her eyes, hugged his lean narrow waist, put her cheeks up, and nodded in a low voice: "I'm a little tired." She leaned weakly on his strong chest and said, "Do you know about Cousin Zhou and the third brother's family affairs?" ”

Xue Rang let out a faint "um", indicating that he already knew, but he was not interested.

After that, they took her by the hand and went to dinner.

The newlywed Yan'er's young couple inevitably had a hearty exercise at night.

Xue Rang remembered her hard work in the past few days, and he didn't dare to push too hard, so he tried to be as gentle as possible.

The bed creaked for a whole hour, and Xue Rang only felt comfortable and wanted to do it again. I just looked down and saw that the wife in my arms had her eyes closed, the green silk was covered with pillows, and her little red face was full of exhaustion, and she fell asleep like this.

"Alu?" He called her softly.

For a while, Xue Rang was both pity and a little frustrated, leaned over and kissed her face, reluctantly retreated, and carried her to the clean room to bathe.
