Chapter 016: Fight for favor
・
Putting aside her uncertain eldest cousin for the time being, Zhen Baolu followed Xue Yifang into the house, and saw that the Xiangxuewu was warmly and elegantly decorated, and the furniture was all precious rosewood and rosewood. Although Xue Yifang was young, she was very good at entertaining guests, pulled Zhen Baolu to sit down, moved a plate of green and crystal grapes to the small table in her hand, and said: "Cousin Lu, you taste it, this is the grape that Nanwan tribute, although it is small, it tastes sweet." ”
Zhen Baolu tasted one of the face, bent her eyes and smiled: "It's really sweet, like honey." ”
Xue Yifang smiled and said, "Cousin Nalu eat more." He looked at Zhen Baoqiong again and said, "Cousin Qiong, let's try it too." ”
Zhen Baoqiong also tasted it, but saw that Shen Shenyu was sitting opposite, afraid that Xue Yifang would only care about them and ignore Shen Shenyu, so she hurriedly said to Xue Yifang: "You go and greet the county lord." ”
Shen Shenyu is the most lacking is the stars and the moon, at this time, I watched Xue Yifang greet the two sisters, but I didn't take it to heart, when I heard Zhen Baoqiong's voice, and saw the two sisters tasting grapes, I only felt that the two sisters were afraid that they had never seen anything in the world, nor had they tasted anything good, so they lightly opened their lips and said: "No need, there are so many jasper grapes in my house, every time the emperor's uncle will personally send someone to the princess's mansion, I eat too much, and I am a little tired." If Miss Zhen Si likes it, I'll ask someone from the house to send you some tomorrow. ”
Xue Yirong is Shen Shenyu's follower, so she is naturally the most face-saving, and said busily: "Also, the emperor has always loved the county lord, and he is the concubine of the harem, and he is not the emperor's favor like the county lord." ”
Shen Shenyu smiled slightly and said, "Yirong, don't say that." Having said that, Shen Shenyu was still very useful in his heart.
Zhen Baoqiong stopped talking for a while.
Zhen Baolu saw that her sister was so kind, but she didn't expect this Shen Shenyu to be so arrogant, she couldn't sit still, and wanted to speak for her sister, but her sister knew her too well, and when she saw that she was about to lose her temper, she reached out and pinched the back of her hand, signaling that she didn't need to speak.
Also, today is Xue Yifang's birthday.
Zhen Baolu pursed her lips, looking at Shen Shenyu with a smiling face, at the moment she is still young, her temper is not disguised, in a few years, she will have a dignified and noble shelf, and the inferiority in her bones has not changed much. If nothing else, this Shen Shenyu will still marry Xu Chenglang. Her aunt is satisfied with the county lord's daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, her aunt and Shen Shenyu got together, and she happened to stand aside and watch the show.
As a result, Zhen Baolu felt sweeter and sweeter when she ate grapes.
Shen Shenyu glanced at the two sisters, and saw that the young Zhen Sixth girl was looking at her with bent eyebrows, and she was a little uncomfortable, but her eyes were clear and clean, and her appearance was jade. Shen Shenyu raised his hand and touched his face, thinking if it was because the makeup on his face was spent, so he made an excuse and went to sit in the middle of the room accompanied by the maid to touch up the makeup.

Xue Rang came out of Xue Yifang's Xiangxue Dock, but met Xue Tan on the verandah. As soon as Xue Tan saw this brother, he strode over and said, "Big brother." "Going to the Qi State Mansion to pick up the two little cousins today was originally a matter of Xue Tan, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother, who never liked to go out, would be willing to help him, so he thanked him at this time, "It's troublesome big brother today." ”
After a polite conversation, Xue Tan got down to business: "Xu Gongzi from the Marquis of Changning Mansion sent a post, asking us to go horseback riding in the western suburbs together in three days." Big brother, are you going? ”
Xue Tan knew that his eldest brother was reluctant to go, and he also knew that Xu Chenglang specially asked them, it must be because of the matter of throwing pots in the Duke of Qi last time. Although Xu Chenglang is young and steady, he is still young, how can there be any reason to admit defeat? I'm afraid I want to take this opportunity to learn from his eldest brother again. This is not a bad thing, the son and brother of the age, only by comparing can you improve. Moreover, Xue Tan felt that his hidden eldest brother would definitely not only be good at throwing pots, but he also wanted to see and learn about this riding skill.
Xue Rang glanced at Xue Tan and said, "Okay." ”
This time, it was Xue Tan's turn to be stunned.
He thought it would take a lot of effort to convince his eldest brother, but he didn't know it was so easy. In the end, Xue Tan was happy, and said busily: "That's it, I'll let people talk back." After that, he hurriedly said, "Then big brother, you go and get busy first, and I'll go over." ”
Xue Rang nodded, knowing the temperament of this second brother, and treating him was not as cold as before.

Zhen Baolu and her sister accompanied Xue Yifang to the birthday banquet, and when they went back, they specially said goodbye to the old lady. The old lady looked at the two sisters, doted on the two children in her arms, and said that she would come and move around more when she was free. Zhen Baoqiong nodded and took her sister out of the gate of Anguo Mansion.
Xue Yifang and Xue Tan sent the two sisters to the door.
Zhen Baolu looked at Xue Tan Xue Yifang's two siblings, and remembered her eldest cousin at this time, but they didn't know each other, so she naturally didn't want to ask anything. But--when I put on her shoes before, it was obviously good.
Zhen Baolu got into the carriage with doubts, Zhen Baoqiong saw that her sister was quiet, so she pinched her sister's cheek and said, "What do you want?" ”
Zhen Baolu came back to her senses, met her sister's eyes, and said in her heart: Her sister loves to pinch her face more and more.
"It's nothing, it's just ......" Zhen Baolu thought about it before she was dissatisfied, "I don't like that Fu'an County Lord." ”
It turned out to be because of this.
Thinking about the behavior of the county lord of Fu'an, it is true that he does not take people seriously, but the identity of the person is there, and he can't be offended in the end. My sister is young, and it is understandable that she is unhappy, and Zhen Baoqiong comforted at the moment: "It's nothing, anyway, we don't have many opportunities to get in touch." ”
Also. Zhen Baolu smiled and said, "Sister is right. ”
After returning home, Zhen Baolu didn't think about Shen Shenyu.
In her previous life, Shen Shenyu humiliated her in private, but think about it at that time, Xu Chenglang had already made a marriage, and she was still entangled, which was indeed too cheap. In this life, Zhen Baolu wants to have a family background, and she wants to have a good look, even if she has never thought of a female student in her previous life, she will try her best to give it a try, she doesn't believe that she can't find a good husband.
Thinking like this, Zhen Baolu studied harder and harder.
Zhen Baolu was born smart, and now she is studying diligently without distractions, so naturally there is no reason not to progress. At first, Xie Fuzi saw that Zhen Baolu was suddenly diligent, although he was a little surprised, he also felt that this little girl's nature was difficult to change, I was afraid that it was a whim, and when this freshness passed, she would definitely have to sit in the last position and be lazy. In the past few days, this little girl not only listened carefully to the class and finished the homework she assigned on time, but also ran over to her from time to time to ask for advice.
Zhen Baolu plunged into the pile of books, very busy, on this day Xu Xiuxin of the Marquis of Changning suddenly brought her a message and invited her to watch Xu Chenglang ride a horse.
