Xue Rang is not an impulsive and reckless person, and he never thought that one day he would have something to worry about with a young young man.
He said lightly: "It's just a discussion, and I agreed." โ
Whether it is a concession or not, Xu Chenglang couldn't be clearer in his heart. He was originally the pride of the sky, but in front of this Xue Dagongzi, he repeatedly hit a wall. He was ruthless step by step, but after winning, he pretended to be indifferent, even if he was as gentle as Xu Chenglang, he couldn't help but feel stuffed and think too much - where did he offend him? Or does he want to make a name for himself by himself?
But after thinking about it, with this Xue Rang's ability, Xu Chenglang understood that if he really wanted fame, he didn't have to wait until now. So, it should be against him as a person, right?
Xu Chenglang's face did not change and slowly got up, and said: "Xue Dagongzi's chess skills are inferior to those who are willing to bow down. That's all for now, I have something to do. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhen Baolu, who was sitting next to Xue Rang, and said, "Cousin Lu, embroidered heart, let's go." โ
Zhen Baolu was grounded by the old lady, and it was the old lady who came out at this time, so she got up obediently, smiled slightly, and said goodbye to Xue Rang and Song Zhi.
And Xu Xiuxin originally wanted to stay by Song Zhi's side, but now seeing that his eldest brother's love was not very good, he didn't dare to say anything, so he reluctantly followed his eldest brother with a small face.
Everyone left, and Song Zhi lifted his robe and sat down.
He has a good temperament and is popular, but the most important thing is that he knows how to observe words and feelings, and he really can't understand this situation today, so he asked: "What kind of festival do you have with Chenglang?" โ
Song Zhi and Xu Chenglang are gentlemen's friends, the two have similar temperaments, Song Zhi admires Xu Chenglang's personality very much, and he also admires Xue Rang, so he doesn't want the two to have any misunderstanding. He looked at the young man sitting across from him and frowned slightly. He has known Xue Rang for a while...... But for the first time, he couldn't figure out a person's mind. However, it was real that he gave his life to save him that day.
Song Zhi said: "Actually, Chenglang has a good temperament, if you have more contact, you will become a good friend." โ
In the end, he is one year younger than him, and Song Zhi's tone is slightly like a brother's demeanor.
But I heard Xue Rang say: "Brother Song thinks too much, I have no holiday with Xu Gongzi." โ
Song Zhi said slowly: "However, my chess skills are far inferior to Chenglang...... You lost to me, but you easily beat him, it doesn't make sense, right? Then she smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

Zhen Baolu went to worship Buddha with Xu Chenglang's brothers and sisters, but Xu Chenglang didn't speak along the way, but he was partial to Xu Xiuxin's chatter, and he couldn't finish talking: "...... What's so powerful about the surname Xue, but he just won the eldest brother by luck, what is his anger? Big brother, don't worry, next time you play chess with him, you can win him. โ
Zhen Baolu said in her heart that her cousin with an embroidered heart is really splashing dirty water, her eldest cousin won the frank swing, and everyone present watched it, where was the luck? And even if she won, her eldest cousin didn't show half of her pride, where was she angry?
It's just that she also understands that Xu Chenglang's silence at this time is probably related to losing to her eldest cousin in chess. After all, in her previous life, her cousin Xu was proud of the spring breeze, where did she taste the taste of losing, but she lost to her eldest cousin one after another......
With the friendship of roasted sparrows, Zhen Baolu thought of her eldest cousin, and felt a little more cordial. It's just that her eldest cousin is so good, why didn't she have a good reputation in her previous life?
โฆโฆ It shouldn't be.
Zhen Baolu was both puzzled and regretful.
This Zhuang just came over after worshipping the Bodhisattva, looked at his son and daughter, and felt a little more relaxed, and when he saw the little girl with a bud in his son's hand, Zhuang's face collapsed, and then he regained his smile and walked over.
Xu Chenglang naturally saw Zhuang's too, and hurriedly said, "Mother." โ
Xu Xiuxin rubbed to Zhuang's side affectionately, took Zhuang's hand affectionately, and said with a smile: "Mother, mother, guess who I just saw?" โ
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, the Zhuang family naturally saw it at a glance, and said: "Mo is not the second son of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?" โ
Xu Xiuxin's eyes lit up, and she said in a sweet voice: "Mother is really amazing, it's Brother Song." As long as Song Zhi was mentioned, Xu Xiuxin was even happier.
Zhuang smiled helplessly, she had also seen Song Zhi a few times. This child has a good family background, although he is not the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, but in the end he is also a descendant, and he is personable, modest and polite, she likes this kind of child the most. She also likes her daughter's association with Song Zhi, looking at her daughter's appearance, at a young age, this vision is not bad. It's a pity...... The age difference between the two is a bit big. This Song has reached the age of marriage after two years, and her daughter is still a child. Because of this, Zhuang didn't know how many times he regretted it.
Zhen Baolu also knows that her aunt doesn't like herself very much. In her previous life, her eyes were full of Xu Chenglang, the people of the Marquis of Changning, except for fighting with Xu Xiuxin, the rest didn't pay much attention to it. But now that I look closely, I realize that this aunt has not hidden her dislike for herself at all. Xu is because she is just a child, and her aunt has no scruples. In her previous life, she really hated her uncle, but now that she thinks about it, her identity at that time was indeed not worthy of her son for her.
To be able to do it all over again, Zhen Baolu doesn't want to spend too much time on unnecessary people.
There are too many people who don't like her, how can she have the kung fu to hate the past one by one?
Zhen Baolu acquainted, called her aunt, and then bent her lips and said: "The ancestor asked Ah Lu to accompany her cousin to worship the Bodhisattva, and now that her aunt and cousin Xiuxin are here, then Ah Lu will go back to accompany her sister." โ
Zhuang heard about Zhen Baoqiong's sprained foot, and also felt that Zhen Baolu was really a troublemaker. At this time, I saw my niece smiling sweetly, not pestering my son like usual.
Zhuang's attitude was better, and he said: "Ah Lu is becoming more and more well-behaved, unlike your cousin Xiuxin......
"Mother......
Xu Xiuxin heard her mother belittle herself and praise Zhen Baolu, and pouted her lips in displeasure, this little mouth was so warped that she could hang an oil bottle.
The Zhuang family no longer belittled his daughter, and said, "Okay, then Alu will go back to accompany your sister." Then he ordered the maid who followed behind him to send Zhen Baolu back.
After sending this annoying girl away, Zhuang Shi said to his reluctant son: "Look at what, hurry up and go in with your mother to worship Manjushri Bodhisattva." โ
Xu Chenglang looked at the petite figure of his little cousin, but he was thinking about playing chess with Xue Rang. From beginning to end, his little cousin didn't say a word.
If it was before, she would definitely defend herself like Xiuxin, and she said vigorously that Xue Rang was not.

This Zhen Baolu doesn't have to face the Zhuang family, but it is much easier, but she still has to go back to see the old lady. When the old lady saw that her little granddaughter had come back so soon, she naturally asked why. Zhen Baolu tilted her head and replied truthfully: "Ah Lu met her aunt and cousin Xiuxin, so she thought that Cousin Xu was accompanied by her aunt and cousin Xiuxin, and she didn't need Ah Lu to accompany her to worship the Bodhisattva." Alu wants to come back to accompany her sister. โ
It's a very well-behaved remark.
But the old lady naturally didn't think so, and only said that the Zhuang family didn't like her little granddaughter, so she bluffed the little granddaughter back. The old lady thought for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the little granddaughter's eyebrows again.
Xu's appearance is stunning, and his personality is gentle and virtuous, the old lady is still satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law, over the years, only because Xu's can't give birth to a male baby, she has some complaints. Looking at Zhen Baolu at this time, I only feel that this little granddaughter is also born with red lips and white teeth, and her aura is compelling. For such a young child, he can learn his way back and study in a down-to-earth and practical manner, and the old lady has a number in her heart, and she will look up to it for a while.
The old lady showed kindness on her face, raised her hand to hold Zhen Baolu's whirring hand, and said, "Ah Lu told the old ancestor, how does your cousin of the Xu family treat you?" โ
Xu Chenglang?
Zhen Baolu lowered her eyes slightly, her bones rolled her eyes, and she secretly said that it was not good, but she raised her eyes and looked at the old lady looking at herself kindly, although it was a loving expression, it made her quite stressed.
Zhen Baolu pursed her small mouth and said, "Cousin Xu treats Alu very well, like ...... Like a sister. โ
The old lady said that she was just an eight-year-old girl and would not think about it, so when she asked at this time, it was direct.
But I heard the old lady say with a smile: "Indeed, your cousin Xu is a good boy." I like my ancestors. As she spoke, she remembered Zhuang's expression, and then gently pinched her little granddaughter's cheek, "Don't worry, the old ancestor will think about it, and let your cousin Xu treat you well for the rest of your life......" The little granddaughter didn't understand these words.
The old lady's words caused Zhen Baolu to go back to the wing room and see her sister, but she didn't come to her senses.
Zhen Baoqiong is copying Buddhist scriptures in the wing. The old lady believes in Buddhism, the Buddhist scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Lingfeng Temple are the most complete, and there is a chance at this time, Zhen Baoqiong specially asked the small and medium-sized novices in the temple to borrow Buddhist scriptures. There are few girls of this age who can calm down like Zhen Baoqiong.
Seeing that her sister was back, Zhen Baoqiong put down her pen and said to her sister: "Ah Lu." โ
Zhen Baolu called "sister", and when she got closer and saw her sister copying Buddhist scriptures, she felt that the gap between the two was immediately reflected - finally Xiu Mu, she was focused on playing, and her sister was still so well-behaved and sensible.
Looking at her sister's delicate face, Zhen Baolu was ashamed of herself, knowing that she couldn't compare to her sister no matter what.
Zhen Baoqiong said: "Listen to Xianghan, you went out with Cousin Xu, what's the matter?" Not happy? โ
Zhen Baolu shook her head and said no, and then said, "I saw my aunt, so I didn't say a few words to Cousin Xu." I want to come back to spend time with my sister. โ
Zhen Baoqiong said: "Don't worry, if you want to be with Cousin Xu and try to work harder next time, my mother will definitely promise you to go to Changning Hou Mansion to live for a few days." โ
Even my sister thinks that she wants to be with Cousin Xu like this? Zhen Baolu frowned secretly, thinking that she was happy when she saw Xu Chenglang in the past, but it was not much better than Xu Xiuxin seeing Song Zhi.
Zhen Baolu sighed in annoyance, and her round cheeks collapsed. This small appearance looks like a small bun that has been poked by chopsticks and leaks, but no juice comes out.
ยท
Two days later, Zhen Baolu returned home with the old lady. After that, I continued to study as usual. And the rest of the little girls in the Qi State Mansion saw Zhen Baolu's progress in this small test, and they became more and more diligent and hardworking one by one. For example, Zhen Baojun, as the eldest of several girls, has been pressed by Zhen Baozhang and Zhen Baoqiong's two younger sisters before, and she can't get over her face, and now even the youngest cousin is better than her, and she is more and more tired and forgets to eat, and she is so tired that she falls ill.
To this end, Xie Fuzi deliberately cut his daily work in half.
On this day, Zhen Baolu sat in front of the window at the square table of the three-bent leg lotus lotus root festival to do her homework, looked up at the birds on the tree chirping, and suddenly remembered that the delicious and tender roasted sparrows came that night.
Zhen Baolu curled the corners of her mouth, pursed her lips greedily, dropped the pen when she landed, called Xianghan Xiangtao, and the three of them went to the yard to catch sparrows with a sieve. It took the three of them half a day to catch two.
But for some reason, it was also a roasted sparrow, and Zhen Baolu felt that the roasted sparrow this time was far inferior to the skewers that the eldest cousin of Lingfeng Temple baked for her that day.
For this roasted sparrow, Zhen Baolu missed her eldest cousin in a rare and small way.
And Zhen Baolu's two fat brothers, Shang Ge'er and Rong Ge'er, have been three months old and have begun to recognize people. Xu is because Zhen Baolu goes to see her younger brothers every day, and the two little guys are very affectionate when they look at Zhen Baolu's sister, especially the younger brother Rong, who often babbles at the second sister.
At this time, it is advisable to live in peace, the sound of the little baby's babbling is particularly joyful, and after three months of recuperation, Xu's body has almost recovered to its previous graceful and slender. His wife finally came out of confinement, Zhen Rusong thought about his wife, and naturally lingered at night, which made Xu's more and more moist and tender like a delicate flower.
When the old lady came in, she saw Xu holding the child and coaxing, and when she saw that Xu was about to salute, the old lady was busy saying: "You hold the child, don't get up." "Since beating Xu and giving birth to two white and fat grandchildren, the old lady's attitude towards her has also improved a lot.
In the past, even if the old lady was polite, the Xu family did not dare not be polite, but now that he has given birth to a son, he can be regarded as confident, so he obeyed the old lady's wishes, and said with a smile: "What does the ancestor have to say?" โ
The old lady raised her hand to grab the hand of the little guy in Xu's arms, at this time she was like a kind old man, she didn't answer, only teased her grandson, and said, "This is Brother Rong, right?" โ
Brother Shang and Brother Rong look alike, and outsiders can't tell them apart.
Xu nodded and said, "Yes." Brother Shang is well-behaved and quiet, but Brother Rong loves to make noise, so he has to be held. โ
The old lady liked it very much, and said, "It's better to be lively, and the boy should be lively." Brother Shang is the eldest son, more stable, like an older brother; Brother Rong is younger, and he loves to make trouble and play, so he is liked. Unlike the harsh treatment of her granddaughters, the old lady has always spoiled her grandchildren.
Xu only smiled: "What the ancestor said is true." โ
The old lady pinched her little grandson's tender little hand, glanced at the obedient Xu, and then said, "I came here today to discuss something with you." I thought about it, Sister Lu has grown up a lot in the past few months, but she has grown up a lot ......"
The daughter's sensibility, Xu also sees it in his eyes.
I heard the old lady continue: "Sister Lu and your nephew are childhood sweethearts, and this child treats him closer than his cousin at home. But in the end, it is a cousin and sister, now that they are young, it is reasonable to have a good relationship, and after a few years of growing up, this little girl's family is not good to get too close to her cousin. โ
Xu thought that the old lady was talking about her daughter, and felt that she was incompetent in discipline, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, ancestor, my daughter-in-law will definitely talk about Ah Lu later." โ
"That's not what I meant." The old lady said slowly.
Now Xu doesn't understand.
She looked at the old lady suspiciously, and asked, "What does the old ancestor ......mean?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Chenglang, this kid, I like it too." Since he fell in love with Sister Lu, I think it would be better for these two children to settle their relationship earlier, and they will have a head to talk about moving around in the future, what do you think? โ
