Chapter 013: Eye-catching

ยท

After sending off the guests of Anguo Mansion, Zhen Baolu naturally had to send off her own grandmother. In the past, she was reluctant to let Xu Chenglang go, but at this time, she greeted the three brothers and sisters lightly, and then said close to Mrs. Xu, without looking at Xu Chenglang again.

Even Mrs. Xu couldn't help but praise herself for her little granddaughter, who had really grown up.

And Zhen Baolu has always been a decisive person, and now after listening to the old lady's words, it was really like an empowerment, and as soon as Yo Youxuan came back, he began to prepare and sort out the content of Xie Fuzi's teaching. However, she didn't work before, and her memory of this note was messy, and she couldn't read it at all. Looking at the crooked handwriting on the paper, Zhen Baolu was a little embarrassed.

Xiang Tao was the maid who was waiting by Zhen Baolu's side, and when she looked at the girl's frowning and distressed look, she said, "Why don't you eat something first?" โ€

Zhen Baolu smiled and looked at her sideways: "No need, I'm not hungry." โ€

Peach just gave up. Seeing that the girl looked serious, she didn't dare to bother anymore, and when the curtain was lifted, a maid who was dressed the same as Xiangtao came in, but was slightly tall and delicate. When Xiang Tao saw her, she called "Sister Xiang Han".

Xiang Han and Xiang Tao are the maids who serve Zhen Baolu, and they are all carefully selected by the Xu family. said that the Xu family cares more deeply for the eldest daughter, but this Zhen Baolu is her daughter, how can there be any reason not to love? Xianghan looked at her own girl, because she was a person who served her closely on weekdays, she could naturally feel the difference between her master, but Xianghan had to admit that this difference made her girl more likable.

Xiang Han stepped forward slowly and said to Zhen Baolu, "Girl." This is what Xu Gongzi asked the slave to hand over to the girl. So saying, he took out what was in his hand.

Xu Chenglang is Zhen Baolu's cousin, and the relationship between the two is like brother and sister, Xu Chenglang often gives small gifts to this little cousin on weekdays, and this time there is naturally nothing abnormal. Besides, her girl is only eight years old.

Zhen Baolu was already worried in her heart, and when she heard Xu Chenglang, she had a headache. She glanced at the fawn puppet in Xianghan's hand, which was the one that Xu Chenglang gave her and she refused to accept before.

Zhen Baolu slowly raised her hand and took the fawn puppet and took a closer look.

Xiang Han smiled and said: "Girl, how delicate this puppet is, Xu Gongzi really has a heart." โ€

Xu Chenglang has always treated her with a heart. Zhen Baolu thought.

But...... It's just a small puppet, and if you return it, it's too raw.

He is her cousin, just a simple cousin-sister relationship, and it is really common to give a little puppet.

Zhen Baolu took a look, then stuffed the puppet into Xiang Han's hand and said, "Put it away." โ€

Xianghan paused, but didn't say anything.

Zhen Baolu sat on the embroidery pier for a while, but decided to go to her sister.

When she arrived at Linlingju, Zhen Baoqiong was watering the flowers.

The little girl in a light pink skirt was born slender and tall, with a beautiful and dignified face, and she was really like a flower shining on the water and a weak willow supporting the wind. Zhen Baolu knows that this is the difference between herself and her sister - she has never had the patience to raise these flowers and plants, but she is more interested in making flowers into incense powder balm.

Zhen Baolu raised a smile and called out to her sister.

Zhen Baoqiong, who was holding the watering flowers, heard her sister's voice, turned to look at her, and said with a smile: "Sister." She poured the flowers and handed them to the maid beside her, and when she saw her sister, she didn't know what to say for a while, but said, "Come with me into the house." โ€

Zhen Baolu nodded, followed her sister into the house, and then explained her intentions: "I want to ask my sister to borrow notes." โ€

Zhen Baoqiong was a little surprised when she heard this, but she thought that her sister was willing to teach her by herself, so it was nothing to borrow notes. Zhen Baoqiong led her sister to her desk and said, "I should have personally sent it over......"

Zhen Baolu found out that her sister had already sorted out the notes and put them aside neatly.

Zhen Baolu lowered her eyes, naturally it was not difficult to understand her sister's intentions. Before, she was the least rare of her sister's things, and her sister had a heart, and she didn't dare to offer to lend her notes. Zhen Baolu took the notes in her sister's hand, opened them and took a look, her sister was only eleven, and she wrote a beautiful hairpin in small letters, neatly and neatly, which was completely different from her crooked words.

It's no wonder that the mother is proud......

Zhen Baolu said enviously: "My sister's handwriting is really good. โ€

Zhen Baoqiong is modest, and said lightly: "I have nothing to do on weekdays, so I like to practice calligraphy." โ€

Zhen Baolu didn't know that such a good word could be achieved by practicing it in idleness? Her sister worked harder than she imagined. However, Zhen Baolu also understands that her sister has lost her mother since she was a child, and her requirements for herself are naturally higher than others. God rewards hard work, and nothing can be obtained casually.

Zhen Baolu smiled slightly: "My sister is modest, even with such a high vision of Master Xie, I can't help but praise my sister often." โ€

Although Na Xie Fuzi is a woman, she is a person with an iceberg of iron heart. Zhen Baolu was most impressed by the fact that once Xie Fuzi said that she looked good, why is this word so ugly? Because of this, she was so angry that she didn't go to the Yupan Mountain House for several days to attend classes.

Zhen Baolu took the notes and went back to her Youyouxuan, and she saw dinner all the time. Although she has an advantage in returning to her life, after her father and mother had an accident in her previous life, she has never touched a book again, and she didn't work hard before, so she naturally forgot about it. But she is the second time to school, and if she is still the same as before, it will be too embarrassing.

After dinner, Zhen Baolu watched it for a while, and only after Mama Zhu urged her twice did she reluctantly go to the bed to rest.

Xu was reading a book before going to bed, and Zhen Baolu soon fell asleep. It's just that I don't know what's going on, and I actually dreamed about the things of my previous life. She dreamed of her father and mother dying, dreaming of Xu Chenglang getting married, and dreaming that she killed her own brother because of her negligence...... When she woke up, Zhen Baolu found that her face was wet, and her pillow was wet.

When Mama Zhu saw that her girl had finally woken up, she sighed and said, "The girl finally woke up, but she had a nightmare?" โ€

The little girl on the couch was wearing a magnolia-colored bedclothes, her supple hair was scattered on both sides, and her round little face was ruddy and tender, like a forest fruit that had just been plucked from a tree, and it was still stained with crystal morning dew.

Zhen Baolu gasped for breath, and some wanted to go to her father. But I thought that they were all asleep, my mother was still in confinement, and she had to take care of her two younger brothers.

Zhen Baolu asked, "What time is it?" โ€

Zhu Mama saw that her girl was quite calm, and said, "Back to the girl, it's just past the sea." โ€

Zhen Baolu hesitated for a while, then asked Mama Zhu to serve her and get dressed, and then ran to Linlingju next door.

Zhen Baoqiong had already fallen asleep at this time, and when she heard Mama Ge say that her sister was looking for her, she got up with her clothes on. Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister who didn't have her hair combed, this look, obviously just got up from the bed, hurriedly walked over, held Zhen Baolu's hand and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" Getting closer, Zhen Baoqiong saw her sister's big eyes and red eyes, as if she had cried, but she understood something, and said, "But you have a nightmare?" โ€

It is normal for an eight-year-old child to have nightmares and be afraid.

Zhen Baolu listened to her sister's words of concern, nodded, and then looked up at her: "Sister, can I sleep with you tonight?" โ€

Zhen Baoqiong was stunned, she knew that her sister never liked to sleep with others, but looking at her pitiful little appearance, her big eyes were wet, she immediately nodded and led her sister to the couch.

Zhen Baoqiong took her sister to the bed, let her sleep in it, gently tucked the quilt for her, raised her hand to comb the broken hair on her forehead, and said softly: "It's just a nightmare, it's okay, my sister will accompany you, huh?" โ€

The little girl who is only eleven years old has the demeanor of an eldest sister.

Zhen Baolu looked at her and hummed, then pulled her sleeve and said, "Sister also sleeps." โ€

Zhen Baoqiong smiled and lay down with her sister. She turned her head sideways and saw that her sister had her eyes wide open, and she hadn't slept yet.

Zhen Baolu was also looking at her, but she was thinking about the things of her previous life. In her previous life, her brother-in-law was a good man who was infatuated and single-minded, and he was willing to wait for his sister for so many years.

Zhen Baolu bent her lips and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you like me?" โ€

The royal blue silk forging pillow lined the little girl's cheeks more and more pink, Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister quietly, raised her hand and patted her back gently, and said very naturally: "Of course I like it." โ€

When she saw her sister born, that small lump made Zhen Baoqiong very happy, and she watched her sister by the cradle every day, and her sister was babbling and cute. She imagined that she would love her sister and take good care of her sister in the future, but ......

Zhen Baolu whispered: "Alu also likes her sister......"

Zhen Baoqiong was stunned, then came back to her senses, looked at the cheek of her sister next to her, and saw that she had fallen asleep, with a quiet and well-behaved little face, just like the quiet little face that was lying in the cradle.

Zhen Baoqiong smiled slightly, and put her sister's hand that was stretched out back into the bed.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Go to sleep. With my sister here, don't be afraid. โ€

ยท

The girls of the Qi Mansion all attended classes in the Yupan Mountain House, and it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so they had a five-day holiday. Now that the holiday has passed, Zhen Baolu has to go back to school again.

Xie Fuzi, who teaches, likes little girls who are neat and not fancy, and Zhen Baolu is not as fond of disagreeing with Xie Fuzi as usual, only wearing a light green full-breasted skirt, with a ribbon of the same color wrapped in the flower bud bun, and pearls tied at the end of the thin braid hanging down the chest. It's a sight to behold.

When Zhen Baolu and her sister entered the Yupan Mountain House together, Xie Fuzi had not yet arrived. Zhen Baolu looked at this familiar place, and felt a little in her heart, she hated this place the most at the beginning, but she didn't expect to come again. She curled her lips and smiled, and walked towards the last spot in the innermost row.

This location is Zhen Baolu's territory.

As soon as she was about to pass, she heard her sister calling her name.

Zhen Baolu turned her head, met her sister's face, and asked suspiciously: "Sister? โ€

In the past few days, Zhen Baoqiong has become a lot closer to this sister, and her speech is naturally less restrained, and now she said bluntly: "Sit with me." โ€

Zhen Baolu was stunned and looked at her sister's position.

Her sister has always been the first, and she can see Xie Fuzi when she raises her eyes.

Zhen Baolu was a little hesitant, although she was determined to study hard, but she still needed time to adapt, and she was asked to sit there so quickly, she was afraid of scaring Xie Fuzi. However, her sister was weak, but her demeanor was domineering, so she raised her hand and took the book bag she was holding in her arms and put it next to her.

Zhen Baolu had no choice but to sit down.

After that, other girls from the Qi State Mansion came one after another, Zhen Baojun and Zhen Baozhang in the second room, and Zhen Baoqing and Zhen Baoyue in the third room. Zhen Baojun and Zhen Baozhang are typical of everyone's beautiful appearance, especially Zhen Baozhang, in her last life, she was the most outstanding girl in the Duke of Qi, and then married King Jing and became a princess. Zhen Baoqing is a concubine, not valued by the old lady, she is a decent girl, as for Zhen Baoyue, her temper is not very good, and she is not a piece of study material like her.

Zhen Baoyue looked at Zhen Baolu sitting next to her sister, and said, "Yo, why did the sixth sister change sex?" โ€

Zhen Baolu didn't care about her generally, and smiled at her sister beside her, knowing that her sister was worried about her and Zhen Baoyue, so she ignored Zhen Baoyue.

The rest of the people, knowing the rules of this Yupan Mountain House, didn't say much, and sat down separately, waiting for Master Xie.

Xie Fuzi's surname is Xie Mingqing, and she is an old girl who is nearly thirty years old and has not yet married, but she is very famous in the imperial city, as far as Zhen Baolu knows, this Xie Fuzi is a cousin of the Qi State Mansion, but the relationship is a little distant.

At this moment, Xie Fuzi came in, and saw that several little girls were sitting quietly and upright, but he was satisfied, and then he thought of something, and looked at the last position in the innermost.

The location is empty.

Xie Fuzi frowned.

She knew the temper of this Zhen Sixth Girl, but she said that her temper had been committed again, and said in a light tone: "Why didn't the Sixth Girl come to class today?" But the body is not comfortable again? โ€

The word "again" shows that Zhen Baolu has not made this kind of trick once or twice.

Xie Fuzi secretly said that it was really rotten wood and could not be carved.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Thanks, I'm here. โ€

A sweet voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Xie Fuzi's expression was stunned, and he walked away, and saw the petite and cute little girl sitting in the first row slowly raising her hand and looking at her innocently.

Facing this round and pink little face, Xie Fuzi paused, and then quickly reacted, and said, "It's good to come, let's go to class." She walked up and glanced down at the little girl sitting across from her, and saw that her eyes were clear and she was smiling at her.

Xie Fuzi frowned, coughed lightly, and then began to check what he had been taught before.

Zhen Baolu's efforts in the past two days were naturally not in vain, although they did not make Xie Fuzi to the point of shock, but they can be regarded as great progress.

And so it went on for five days.

On this day, Zhen Baolu and her sister were doing homework in the house, and Zhen Baoqiong reminded: "Tomorrow is Yifang's birthday, and I will call you tomorrow morning." โ€

Zhen Baolu nodded. Xue Yifang's birthday, she naturally remembered, and this birthday gift had already been chosen.

She handed over the completed homework to her sister for checking, and then supported her chin with her hands on her cheeks and said, "Sister, shall we go by ourselves?" โ€

Zhen Baoqiong is carefully watching her sister's homework, her sister has made great progress, and she is very satisfied. Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Yifang told me, the second cousin will come to pick us up." โ€

Zhen Baolu was relieved, and the next day she wore a new set of clothes, so she picked it up. When Zhen Baolu packed up and went out, she found that it was not her second cousin who came to pick her up, but her eldest cousin who was born and had a very eye-catching posture.
