During dinner, Zhen Rusong smiled and said proudly: "Look at our Ah Lu, how promising, I met Xie Fuzi in the courtyard today, and I also praised Ah Lu." "You must know that on weekdays, all Zhen Rusong hears is praise for his eldest daughter.

looked sideways at the well-behaved and sensible girl, frowned and said, "This time the test is over, Alu will rest more, don't read all day, look, this face has lost a lot of weight." ”

It's a good thing that the girl can finally study steadily, but for Zhen Rusong, it's a big deal that this baby daughter is raised for nothing.

Zhen Baolu was eating soft and fat braised fish lips, her little cheeks were bulging, listening to Zhen Rusong's words, her big eyes were dripping and she smiled: "Daddy says that Ah Lu has lost weight every time...... In the past few days, Alu has liked the pastries made by Mama Ge very much, and she should be fatter. ”

Mama Ge is Zhen Baoqiong's personal mother, Zhen Rusong listened, and knew that the relationship between the two sisters was getting closer and closer, and she was naturally relieved in her heart, and immediately said: "Mama Ge's craftsmanship is really good, but there are not many things that are too sweet, and it hurts your teeth if you eat more." ”

Zhen Baolu smiled and glanced at Zhen Baoqiong beside her: "My sister told me, Daddy can rest assured." ”

Xu has just come out of confinement, and his body has not yet fully recovered, but he can look plump and ruddy, and he is very delicate.

She said: "This time you have made such great progress, and your sister is also indispensable, but you must not be proud." ”

Zhen Baolu naturally understood in her heart, but when she raised her eyes to look at her mother, somehow, there were still some pimples in her heart. It was as if half of the joy in my heart had been forcibly drained away. She knew that she shouldn't think so, and she knew that her sister treated her very well, and she liked her sister very much, but why couldn't her mother praise her?

Zhen Baolu said "um", and then smiled: "My sister will tutor Ah Lu every three or five times, and the notes she makes are also shown to Ah Lu......

Zhen Baoqiong was careful, so she said to Xu: "Mother, in fact, Alu is very smart, I didn't do anything at all......"

Xu suddenly understood, looked at his husband's face again, and said that he had committed this old mistake again, so he personally sandwiched a fish ball for his daughter: "Ah Lu eat more to make up for her body." ”

Zhen Baolu is the one who will start over in the end, and she will not be as calculating as in her previous life, and now she knows that her mother has changed a little bit, and she has no other extravagant hopes, so she just eats the fish balls with a smile.

After dinner, Zhen Baolu gathered around the cradle to watch her two younger brothers as usual.

These two little ones were born white and tender, and now they are even more cute, but the younger brothers love to sleep, and when she came to see, most of them saw that they slept like little pigs.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps beside me.

Zhen Baolu turned her head sideways, looked at Zhen Baoqiong who came over, and whispered, "Sister." "I'm afraid of waking up my two younger brothers.

Zhen Baoqiong nodded, went over to stand beside the cradle with her, and said, "What my mother said today, don't take it to heart, and don't think about it." ”

Zhen Baolu was stunned, her heart was her sister in the end, and she was so careful as dust. Zhen Baolu didn't look at her, only reached out to grab Brother Rong'er's hand, and muttered, "I didn't think much about it." ”

Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister's pink side face, she knew that a little girl who was only eight years old should not be so sensitive. But to put it mildly, it's because of her. Zhen Baoqiong lowered her eyelids slightly, and said in a low voice: "My mother is only kind to me because I lost my mother since I was a child." But Alu, you are your mother's biological daughter, she must care more about you than her sister. ”

Are you sure?

Zhen Baolu paused, in fact, she is still not sure, her mother really took special care of her because her sister lost her mother when she was a child, or because her sister made her face bright, but she was not angry. Zhen Baolu pursed her lips and said, "But sister, if I were a mother, I would definitely like my sister more." "What's so good about her? Where can I compare to my sister?

Zhen Baoqiong knew that her sister must have cared in her heart, and it was better to be able to say it now than to hold it all the time. She said: "Nonsense, I like Ah Lu more." "A meek and well-behaved girl, when she said this, her eyes shone slightly, and she was extremely rare and lively, "Ah Lu is good-looking, smart and sensible, and treats her younger brothers well, no one will dislike it." ”

Zhen Baolu laughed out loud, looked at her sister and muttered, "How can I be so good?" ”

But look at my sister's sparkling eyes, these eyes, but they don't lie. Zhen Baolu's heart warmed, and she couldn't help but feel beautiful.

Is she really that good?

My sister said yes, yes. Zhen Baolu thought with a smile.

Zhen Rusong and Xu, who were standing outside, were also relieved to see the smiling appearance of the two girls inside. Xu looked docile on the face of her husband on the side of her upper body, and secretly blamed herself: "The concubine is wrong again this time, and I ask the master to punish him." ”

said that the two daughters could no longer favor one over the other, but in the end, it was due to habit, and I couldn't help but praise the eldest daughter more.

Zhen Rusong didn't speak, but only led his wife out lightly, leaving the two sisters to talk in the house. When he walked outside, Zhen Rusong took the opportunity to hold his wife's hand.

In the end, it was in the courtyard, Xu's cheeks were red, and his voice trembled slightly: "Master." ”

Zhen Rusong said: "You have treated Qiong'er well in the past few years, and I also see it in my eyes." Although this is a little unfair to Ah Lu, but now seeing Qiong'er treat Ah Lu like this, it can be regarded as the good fruit you planted. It's just ......" Zhen Rusong squeezed his wife's hand tightly, stopped to look at his wife's face, and said, "Although Ah Lu is young, her mind is more sensitive than I thought. It's also strange to say, how did this child grow up all of a sudden? ”

Xu Shi was ashamed, and said with red eyes: "It's that the concubine cares too little about Ah Lu." ”

Zhen Rusong was soft-hearted, but he forcibly spoke: "Indeed, you really care too little about Alu. For example, what happened on the day of the test, shouldn't you, as a mother, comfort her well? Although there was nothing wrong in the end, if it weren't for Ah Lu's intelligence, how could he defend his innocence? But this girl is wronged in her heart. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi became more and more speechless.

Zhen Rusong sighed lightly and said: "I know that you are busy taking care of Brother Shang and Brother Rong these days, but Alu is only eight years old, my aunt, you have worked hard to be a good daughter-in-law and wife all these years, in my eyes, you have indeed done it." But as far as Alu is concerned, you are not a good mother, you know? ”

Xu raised his eyes to look at this mature and steady man, when she was the daughter of the Changning Hou Mansion, she was wronged in her heart, but after marrying him, she tied her heart to him, and even the daughter that Xue left him before, she regarded it as her own.

Xu's eyes were red, and it was clear that she was already the mother of four children, but now she looked like a child who had done something wrong. She bowed her head slightly and said, "The concubine really knows that she is wrong. ”

When it came to this, Zhen Rusong could say something, hugged his wife into his arms, and smiled lowly: "Look at you, if you do something wrong, you will put on a pitiful look, exactly the same as Alu." ”

The next day was the day when the old lady went to Lingfeng Temple to worship the Buddha.

The eldest daughter-in-law Xu had just come out of confinement, and it was difficult to go out, and the second daughter-in-law Cheng was still grounded, so she only brought the third daughter-in-law, Xue. And the little granddaughter who came with her was Zhen Baoqiong, Zhen Baozhang and Zhen Baolu, who were in the top three in this small test.

On weekdays, I studied with Xie Fuzi, and I dressed as simple as possible, but I was going out today, so Zhen Baolu dressed up carefully. At this age, no matter what color you wear, you can't go wrong, a peach-colored vase makeup gown is particularly festive, because the autumn weather is cool, and there is a snow wool silk cloak on the outside, which looks dignified and generous.

Zhen Baolu looked down at the moon-white milky cigarette satin beaded embroidered shoes on her feet, her little face was stunned, and she suddenly remembered the scene when her eldest cousin put on shoes for her that day......

I don't know what happened to her eldest cousin's injuries. After all, the eldest cousin was injured by her brother-in-law.

When Zhen Baolu frowned and thought secretly, Zhen Baoqiong outside had already come to call her. Zhen Baolu raised a smile, and ran out happily, and when she saw her slim sister, she said sweetly: "Sister, sister." ”

Zhen Baoqiong smiled dotingly and said, "Look at you, you look like a wild monkey when you have a holiday." ”

Zhen Baolu felt that she muttered with a small mouth, she was naturally happy when she finally had a holiday.

Zhen Baoqiong touched her sister's bud, looked at her sister's delicate little face, and said, "It looks so good to wear like this." ”

Zhen Baolu smiled, at the moment she is just a little girl, no matter how beautiful she is, she is just a child, where can she see it?

The two sisters talked and laughed and went to the old lady's Shouen Hall, and Zhen Baozhang came earlier than them, and now he was already standing next to the old lady. Zhen Baozhang looked at the two sisters who came, his face sank, but the next moment, he raised his little face again.

The three little girls accompanied the old lady out the door, and the carriage was already waiting outside.

The three little girls sat in a carriage, and the third daughter-in-law, Xue, wanted to sit with the old lady, but the old lady asked her to take care of the three nieces, and Xue only nodded and shared a carriage with the three little nieces.

When Zhen Baoqiong wanted to help her sister get into the carriage, Mama Li, who was next to the old lady, came over and said, "Sixth girl, the old lady will let you go." ”

Not to mention that Zhen Baolu was a little surprised, even Zhen Baozhang showed a look of surprise.

What does this mean by Ancestor? Why did you let the sixth sister pass? Zhen Baozhang thought of Zhen Baolu again this time to try Zhen Baolu's appearance, but she was not the best.

Zhen Baolu looked at her sister: "Sister? ”

Zhen Baoqiong was a little worried, but she was happy for her sister, so she held her sister's hand and said, "Since the ancestor wants you to accompany her, then you can go over." But remember, don't be naughty. ”

Zhen Baolu nodded and said okay.

Zhen Baoqiong said to Mama Li again: "That's troublesome Mama Li." Then he saw his sister follow Mama Li to the carriage in front.

·

Zhen Baolu got into the carriage with her skirt, and when she saw the old lady inside, she said obediently: "Ancestor." ”

The old lady glanced at the little granddaughter in front of her, and her cheeks were jade and red as if she was a little nervous. The old lady said, "Come and sit." ”

Zhen Baolu sat next to the old lady. She turned her head sideways and glanced at the old lady, this position, she had seen Zhen Baozhang sit in her previous life, and she had also seen her sister sit. Zhen Baozhang and her sister are the granddaughters of the ancestor who are most proud, at that time, in addition to being unconvinced, she was more envious in her heart. Now...... She can too. For a while, Zhen Baolu was no longer nervous, but felt very happy, and even the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend up.

She did, didn't she?

The old lady said, "What is so happy?" ”

Zhen Baolu tilted her little head, looked at the old lady, her big eyes were as clear as a deer in the forest, and said: "Being able to accompany the old ancestor, Ah Lu naturally feels happy." ”

The little girl is not only good-looking, but also has a soft and beautiful voice.

The old lady also showed a rare smile, and then said: "Grandmother didn't give you an explanation for the events of that day, but you were wronged in your heart?" ”

What happened that day?

Zhen Baolu thought about it, and naturally understood what the old lady said? Zhen Baolu said: "Does the ancestor want Ah Lu to tell the truth? ”

The old lady said, "What do you say? ”

Zhen Baolu smiled, resting her hands on her knees in an orderly manner, then she smiled and whispered: "Ah Lu is indeed a little uncomfortable in her heart. It's just that later Ah Lu saw the third aunt come over with the fifth sister, apologized to Ah Lu, and looked at the hands of the fifth cousin, Ah Lu was not angry at all. ”

She wasn't angry with Zhen Baoyue at all, but she just felt that her temperament might not be used in the future. She was so angry that she was the one who instructed Zhen Baoyue.

The old lady reached out and held her little granddaughter's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "You are quite sensible." He continued, "We are all cousins, and Grandmother just wants you to get along well and be okay with each other." ”

Zhen Baolu nodded obediently: "Ah Lu understands." ”

The old lady smiled, her eyes kept falling on the face of this little granddaughter, looking at this little girl, her eyes were full of aura, it was indeed as Xie Fuzi said, it was a piece of jade that could be carved, she had looked away before. The old lady took off a string of Buddhist beads from her hand and put it on Zhen Baolu's wrist, but the little girl's wrist was too thin and too big.

Zhen Baolu's eyes widened in surprise: "Old Ancestor ......" She knew that this string of Buddha beads was the old lady's personal belongings, and she was very precious on weekdays.

The old lady said: "This Buddha bead can bless you safely, and if you can't take it, you can put it next to the bed." Think of it as your grandmother's compensation. ”

Zhen Baolu looked down at the string of Buddhist beads, and wanted to say something to refuse, but she knew the old lady's temper, so she didn't say anything, only raised her head and smiled: "Thank you, ancestor." ”

It's just that Zhen Baolu understands in her heart that this is not just a string of Buddhist beads.

I'm afraid she will have to work harder in the future.

·

After arriving at Lingfeng Temple and getting off the carriage, Zhen Baoqiong followed the Xue family nervously to welcome the old lady out of the carriage, and she saw her sister following the old lady, and both grandparents and grandchildren were smiling, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Like she said, who doesn't like her sister?

Xue helped the old lady up the mountain. The three little girls walked side by side, but Zhen Baolu and Zhen Baoqiong were closer, and in comparison, Zhen Baozhang was a little alone.

Zhen Baolu knew that her sister was worried, so she said something about the car just now, and when Zhen Baoqiong heard that the old lady had given her sister the Buddha beads that had been precious for so many years, she was pleasantly surprised.

And Zhen Baozhang, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart when he heard this, so he only quickened his steps and came to the old lady in front of him, holding the old lady's arm affectionately.

Zhen Baolu looked up, only smiled, and then continued to talk to her sister.

After climbing the steps for two quarters of an hour, Zhen Baolu was so tired that her legs were straight and weak, and she frowned and no longer had the strength to talk to her sister.

Zhen Baolu pursed her lips: "Sister, I'm a little thirsty......"

Zhen Baoqiong said: "It's coming soon, bear with me." "I just forgot to bring water today.

Zhen Baolu twisted her eyebrows, and it was hard to say anything. As if hearing someone calling her, Zhen Baolu turned around with a faint face.

Looking at the young man behind me, I saw that he was tall and beautiful, but he hadn't seen him for half a month, as if he had grown taller. Looking at the water bladder in his hand again, Zhen Baolu smiled, and greeted him warmly: "Big cousin, do you also come to worship the Bodhisattva?" ”
