No matter what Xue Rang said, he is also the eldest son of the Anguo Mansion, and today is his fifteen-year-old birthday, and Wang's stepmother naturally has to give birth to Zhang Luo's birthday banquet. The cousins and sisters of the same generation all sent posts, and Xue Rang is a student of Egret Academy, so classmates and friends are naturally indispensable.

The old lady thought, this grandson is not young, most of the sons and brothers in the imperial city are about sixteen years old, and this time the eldest grandson's birthday is over, he will be fifteen, and the family affairs will naturally be arranged.

He turned his head sideways and looked at his grandson who came to ask for peace, wearing a royal blue jade silk robe, which was even better than when the eldest son was young, and he was a lot taller than a teenager of the same age.

The old lady smiled and stuffed the prepared red envelope into her grandson's hand, patted her grandson's hand gently, and said, "Good boy." ”

Xue Rang glanced at the old lady and said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Wang stood aside, looking at the two ancestors and grandchildren, also smiling, and after the old lady gave the red envelope, he also handed over the red envelope he had prepared.

Xue Rang took it lightly: "Thank you, mother." ”

At this time, the maid next to the old lady came in to tell her that the second girl had brought the two cousins of the Qi State Mansion to see the old lady. When the old lady heard this, the smile between her eyebrows and eyes was even stronger, and she was also looking forward to this famous granddaughter in her heart, and said with a smile: "These two children, it's early today, hurry up and let them in." ”

Xue Yifang led Zhen Baoqiong and Zhen Baolu in, and when she saw the old lady, her round face was full of smiles, and she said lively: "Ancestor, I brought Cousin Qiong and Cousin Lu over." ”

The old lady smiled and nodded, looking at the two little girls who came in and saluted obediently. The old lady thought of her granddaughter in her heart, so she naturally couldn't help but take a closer look, and saw that her granddaughter's cheeks were rounder than in the first half of the year, thinking that although the Xu family had a son, she didn't neglect her daughter. Looking at the little girl next to her granddaughter, she also looked well-behaved, but the old lady gradually liked this granddaughter who had nothing to do with her. If the two sisters have always loved each other like this, she is also willing to treat Zhen Baolu as her own granddaughter.

The old lady said: "You two have a heart, you can come today, your eldest cousin doesn't know how happy you are." ”

Zhen Baoqiong smiled slightly, and then looked at Xue Rang beside the old lady, and said obediently: "Big cousin." ”

Xue Jean bowed his head and looked at the shorter little girl beside her.

Looking at the eyes of the young man in front of him, Zhen Baolu subconsciously bent her lips, and her pink cheeks were also dyed with a smile, and said, "Big cousin." ”

"Hmm."

The old lady looked at the delicate and elegant granddaughter in front of her, and then looked at the tall and handsome grandson beside her, as if she thought of something, and the smile on her face deepened. She said: "Today is Brother Jean's birthday, so don't accompany me, an old woman." As he spoke, he looked at Xue Rang and said, "You can take your two cousins out for a walk." They don't come often, so you, who are cousins, need to take care of them more. ”

The old lady was afraid that her grandson would be too taciturn, and the little girls would not like to be touched.

Xue Rang nodded, and led the two little cousins and Xue Yifang out.

The old lady looked at the back of her grandson and granddaughter going out, with a loving smile between her eyebrows, and said to the Wang family beside her: "Look, this makes Brother and Sister Qiong stand together, it really matches." ”

Wang's heart "groaned", and his face immediately changed. She had been worried about this before, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

She smiled and said, "But...... Didn't Sister Qiong just go to girls' school? The daughter-in-law heard that many people came to the door to propose marriage, but they were all rejected by the brother-in-law. Want...... I think I want her to study in peace, and I'll be thinking about family affairs in two years. ”

The old lady said, "You don't understand this. It's just a polite refusal, and if there is something really outstanding, my son-in-law will naturally consider it. As she spoke, the old lady thought for a while, "Let my brother, this child, think about what is going on in my heart, I can't figure it out." But I haven't seen him so attentive to that cousin, when Huanting came before, I asked my brother to take her around, didn't this kid refuse on the spot? ”

This girl named Huanting is the granddaughter of the eldest sister of the old lady, surnamed Zhou. Zhou Huanting was only twelve, and she came all the way from Ningzhou to pass the entrance exam for the Imperial City Women's School. Right now, I'm living in the Anguo Mansion. The old lady understood that Zhou Huanting came to her aunt, naturally not only to be taken care of when she was studying, but also to find a good family. The little girl was smart and diligent, and the old lady admired it very much. I thought that it would be good to give this little girl to Brother Rang, but looking at her grandson's disinterested appearance, he knew that this little cousin was not in his eyes at all.

She knew that the little girl was interested in her grandson, after all, her eldest grandson was born so handsome, which of the girl's family didn't bumble into it? Unexpectedly, she only mentioned it slightly, and her grandson said that he had homework to do, which almost made the little girl unable to get off the stage.

However, the old lady is also an enlightened person.

This grandson has lost his mother since he was a child, and he is a poor man, and all she can do for him is to find a wife he likes. What he didn't like, she definitely didn't force it.

The old lady has also seen Wang's shrewdness and ability over the years, but no matter how well the Wang family treats her eldest grandson, it doesn't pop out of her stomach after all, and it is impossible to be as attentive as her own son. The old lady was also afraid that the Wang family would do something to the eldest grandson's family affairs, so the eldest grandson's family affairs were completely decided by the old lady.

Wang smiled, not knowing what to say.

She is also a person from the past, and she knows that at the age of Xue Rang, it is when the love is first opened, and it is normal to be diligent when she sees the little girl she likes. The young man's thoughts were written on his face, and he thought he was smart and thought that he was well disguised, but everyone else could see it clearly.

For a while, the Wang family complained that Zhou Huanting's appearance was not as good as Zhen Baoqiong's, if she could be more beautiful, then this Xue Rang would not even look at it?

Walking outside, Zhen Baoqiong handed the prepared birthday gift to Xue Rang. And Zhen Baolu saw that her sister had given a gift, and she also took the small box from the hand of Xiang Han behind her and handed it to Xue Rang: "Big cousin, happy birthday." ”

Xue Rang smiled, raised his hand to take the birthday gift from his little cousin, and was about to open it to see.

"......"

Zhen Baolu hurriedly raised his little hand and covered the back of Xue Rang's hand to stop him from opening it, and looked at Xue Rang with big eyes, "How can anyone look at the gift in person?" You'll see it when you get back to your room. ”

Seeing her sister's appearance, Zhen Baoqiong smiled and said, "Since I gave it to my cousin, it doesn't hurt to watch it now." ”

Zhen Baolu didn't follow, but after listening to her sister's words, she also felt that her behavior was too much, so she hurriedly took her hand back and said, "That's it, the eldest cousin can watch it if he wants." ”

Xue Yifang was also curious, her heart was itching, and she said excitedly: "Yes, yes, open it and take a look, I don't know what Alu sent." Last time on my birthday, I liked the gift from Alu. ”

Zhen Baolu pursed her lips and said in her heart: Where is the gift she gave, it's just ingenious. Xue Yifang is the daughter of the golden and jade princess of Anguo Mansion, where is there a lack of beautiful jewelry and clothes? Choosing something cute and novel, it would seem better to her than precious jewelry.

Xue Rang didn't open it, only gently rubbed the delicate pattern on the box a few times, and said, "Then I'll look at it later." ”

Xue Yifang looked disappointed, but in the end, she was a little afraid of this big brother, and she didn't dare to coax blindly.

However, Xue Rang's words made Zhen Baolu happy, and said, "Well, then the eldest cousin will watch it later." ”

At this time, Xue asked the little guy around him to come over and saluted: "The eldest son, the second son of Song is here." ”

As soon as she heard that Song Zhi was coming, Zhen Baolu's head looked at her sister, and she really saw her sister, who had always been calm, with an unnatural expression.

And Xue Yifang knew that her eldest brother was good friends with Song Ergongzi, so she said knowingly: "That big cousin, I'll bring Cousin Qiong and Cousin Lu over, you can greet Song Ergongzi." With that, he pulled Zhen Baolu away.

Xue Yifang was curious, and when she walked away, she asked, "Oh, Cousin Qiong, Ah Lu, what kind of gift did you give to your eldest brother, I really want to know." ”

Looking at Xue Yifang's itchy appearance, Zhen Baoqiong didn't sell it, and said slowly: "It's not valuable, it's just a gift of a Minghetang pen." ”

When Xue Yifang heard this, she was surprised: "This is not expensive, I can't buy it if I want it." ”

Zhen Baolu also knows that this Minghetang's pen is indeed difficult to buy, if she remembers correctly, this pen should have been brought by her mother for her sister's idea, but she gave it to her eldest cousin...... Zhen Baolu looked at her sister's delicate face, if it weren't for her sister blushing when she saw Song Zhi, she would have doubted whether her sister would like her eldest cousin. In comparison, the gift she gave seemed a little shabby.

Zhen Baolu didn't speak.

Zhen Baoqiong looked at her sister beside her with a smile, held her sister's soft little hand and said, "If Cousin Xue hadn't brought Alu back that time, I wouldn't have known what to do?" This time on his birthday, it is nothing to give a pen from Minghetang. "Although Zhen Baoqiong treasures that pen, there is no way to compare it with her sister at all.

Zhen Baolu's heart warmed when she heard this, and she tilted her head and said to her sister: "In the future, Alu will send my sister a hundred pens from Minghetang, and my sister can write it no matter how she writes." ”

Xue Yifang smiled "poof", only to feel that Zhen Baolu's cowhide could be blown up, and said: "There are only a few pens in Minghetang every year. The ladies in the palace tried their best, but they could only get one. If you want to get a hundred, you can't even do it with the queen's mother. ”

Zhen Baolu didn't mean to joke at all.

Since her sister treats her well, she naturally repays her a thousand times over. Today's sister endured the pain of love for her, and gave the baby's pen to her eldest cousin, and she will do what she says in the future, and give her a hundred.

The little guy from the Anguo Mansion welcomed Song Zhi in.

Song insisted on wearing a blue brocade robe after the rain, with a graceful demeanor, even when there was no expression, there was a shallow smile on his handsome face, no wonder there was such a good popularity in the imperial city.

At this time, he saw the three little girls walking in the direction of the lotus pond, talking and laughing, his eyes fell on the light green slender figure, and he looked at it for a long time, and then he noticed Xue Rang who came over, and his eyes quietly looked at the box in Xue Rang's hand, and said, "The little cousin sent it?" ”

Xue Rang didn't speak, but he didn't deny anyone, and only led people to his residence.

Xue Rang lives in the Sihe Residence on the side of the East Wing, which is spacious and bright, and the environment is also suitable for studying. Song Zhi also came, and as he entered the room and sat down, he drank two sips of the tea cup that was served, and then his eyes fell on the two boxes resting on the table.

Song Zhi gently looked at the table with two fingers, coughed lightly, and said, "What...... Don't open it to see? ”

He was curious about what the little girl had given for her birthday. After all, this birthday gift can be seen that the little girl is not interested in her cousin.

Although Xue Rang is a young man and an old man, he and Song Zhi are like-minded, and looking at Song Zhi's curious appearance at this time, he has an immovable posture, as if he wants to make him anxious.

Song Zhi is also a young talent in the imperial city, and he has always been calm, but at this time, he was itching, raised his hand and took the smaller rosewood box above, and said, "I'll show it for you." ”

As he spoke, he was about to open it.

At this moment, I saw that he was a young man who was immovable, and his white jade-like face changed suddenly, and then he reached out and put it under Song Zhi's hands holding the box, and gently slapped it up, and the small box in Song Zhi's hand flew out, and then the box fell quietly and fell steadily into the young man's hand.

Song Zhi knew that he was hiding deeply, he was stunned, but he still showed disdainful eyes, and then opened the folding fan in his hand with a "bang", fanned it a few times, and said, "As for it?" ”

Xue Rang was in a good mood, and his handsome face was expressionless, much gentler than usual. He took the delicate small box in his hand, slowly opened it, and looked at the things lying quietly inside, and was slightly stunned.

Although Song Zhi was disdainful on his face, he was really curious in his heart, and when he saw Xue Rang see the delicate peace knot in the small box taken out, he couldn't help but show envious eyes.

The noble family is the most rare gold and silver jewelry, and this small peace knot is extremely delicately braided, and it took a lot of thought to think about it. And such a delicate gadget can only be made up by a clever little girl.

Just now Xue Rang just met the two girls from the Qi State Mansion, and this birthday gift was naturally given by those two little cousins. And Song Zhi also took it for granted that this exquisite and unique peace knot came from the hands of Zhen Baoqiong, the fourth girl of the Duke of Qi.

Song Zhi panicked, but he couldn't say anything, so he only said perfunctorily: "Your cousin, you have a heart." ”

Xue Rang's thin lips bent, and he gently rubbed this delicate peace knot before putting it in his arms, with a posture to be carried close to his body.

Song Zhi took a deep breath, picked up the cup in his hand and took a few sips of water.

said that Xue Yifang led the two Zhen Baolu sisters to the courtyard where the banquet was set up. There are already many young girls sitting here, and the warblers and Yanyan wear red and green, all of them are some cousins and cousins.

When Xue Yifang passed, she saw a girl wearing a lake-green skirt and a hanging bun coming over, and said with a smile: "Yifang." He looked at Zhen Baoqiong beside Xue Yifang and said, "Fourth girl Zhen." ”

Xue Yifang seemed to dislike the girl in front of her, and lost her enthusiasm for chattering, so she only said: "Cousin Zhou and Cousin Qiong are both students of women's studies, so they should know each other, right?" He said to Zhen Baolu again, "Ah Lu, this is my cousin in Ningzhou, surnamed Zhou." ”

Zhen Baolu was young, so naturally she politely called "Cousin Zhou" with Xue Yifang. Looking at the cousin Zhou in front of her, Zhen Baolu felt that although she was about the same age as her sister, she also had a smile on her face, but she was a little deliberate, which made people feel uncomfortable. Looking at Xue Yifang's attitude, she probably doesn't like this cousin very much.

After saying hello, the three of them sat down.

Xue Yifang looked at her cousin Zhou, who got along well with her cousin Xue Yirong, as if she was a sister, and her little face showed a disdainful expression. She sneered lightly, turned her head and saw Zhen Baolu holding the osmanthus cake in her small hand, eating it in small sips, but she didn't care about herself at all, so she complained squeamishly: "Alu, don't just care about eating." ”

Zhen Baolu looked at Xue Yifang's appearance and knew what she was angry about.

In the past, Xue Yirong and Xue Yifang had a good relationship, but now Xue Yirong is with that cousin Zhou, and this little girl is inevitably uncomfortable.

Zhen Baolu said: "You don't like your cousin Zhou?" ”

Xue Yifang nodded heavily and said, "Hmm! She held her chin again to twist the round little face, and said, "Since Cousin Zhou came, my mother has been talking all day long, how smart Cousin Zhou is, and she was admitted to the women's school Shun Lìli, let me learn more from Cousin Zhou......"

Zhen Baolu smiled. She knows this feeling best.

Isn't this the self of the previous life?

But Zhen Baoqiong listened to it and said: "Miss Zhou is indeed very good, and the master of the academy has praised it more than once. ”

Xue Yifang was very dissatisfied: "Then how can you be so good, Cousin Qiong?" You have always been low-key and unassuming, I really admire you, but Zhou Huanting, I don't like it......" He snorted softly as he spoke, and then thought of something, his big eyes rolled around, and he put his small mouth to Zhen Baolu's ear, "I'll tell you something-my cousin Zhou, she likes my eldest brother." ”
