When Zhen Baolu came out, Zhen Baoqiong hurriedly rushed up: "Sister." ”

Zhen Baolu saw her sister's eyebrows frowning, this small appearance, obviously worried about it. Zhen Baolu smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine." Not only was it fine, but it also rekindled her fighting spirit. Zhen Baolu smiled brightly and continued, "Sister, the ancestor just asked me about my homework, and I have to prepare well for the next test." ”

Zhen Baoqiong knew that the old lady never asked about her sister's homework on weekdays, but since she told her sister like this this time, she paid more attention.

That's a good thing.

Zhen Baoqiong breathed a sigh of relief, and saw her sister smiling brightly, not to mention how cute her fleshy cheeks were. Zhen Baoqiong was cautious about this sister before, for fear of making her unhappy, Rao felt that she was cute, and she could only think about it in her heart, but now she naturally raised her hand and pinched her sister's face, and said: "Since the ancestor said so, I will keep an eye on you these days, and don't be lazy anymore." ”

As soon as she pinched it, she could feel that her sister's round little face was softer and smoother than she imagined. In addition to being happy, Zhen Baoqiong still looked at her sister's face.

It's because I'm afraid that my sister will be unhappy.

Zhen Baolu is indeed not used to others touching her like this, she paused, looked at her sister's eyes, and knew her apprehension at the moment, so she smiled more and more brightly, nodded and said obediently: "Well, I know." ”

Listening to her sister's soft and glutinous voice, Zhen Baoqiong also smiled.

At this time, Cheng returned to his Chulan Courtyard, and when he thought of the old lady's words today, he was so angry that he sat on the Huanghuali circle chair, and his face was gloomy.

At this time, a little girl wearing a goose-yellow embroidered plum blossom jacket and combing a double snail bun came in. This is the second daughter of the Cheng family, that is, Zhen Baozhang, the third girl of the Qi State Mansion.

Zhen Baozhang's appearance is not as flamboyant as Cheng's, but very much like the second master Zhen Rubai.

Cheng was angry, and when he saw his daughter, he was a little more comfortable. Zhen Baozhang has always been excellent, talented and diligent, and he is deeply liked by the old lady, Cheng is naturally proud of this daughter, and treats her more on weekdays.

Zhen Baozhang is young, but in the end he is smart, and she has heard about what happened just now, so she stepped forward and called "mother" obediently, and then said: "My daughter heard that the sixth sister seems to have changed in the past few days, and she is inseparable from the fourth sister, and she is very close. ”

Cheng thought of the appearance of the little niece just now, and also felt a little different from usual.

Cheng said lightly: "That girl is playful, so don't be afraid." Zhang'er, there will be another small test next month, this time I can't lose to the four girls again. ”

Zhen Baozhang and Zhen Baoqiong are the best girls in the Qi State Mansion, and the two are not equal in their homework, and the first of each time must be between the two.

In the last small test, Zhen Baozhang ranked second.

Zhen Baozhang is excellent, and he is inevitably a little conceited and arrogant, but in the eyes of others, this is a confident little girl, which is not a bad thing. At the mention of Zhen Baoqiong now, Zhen Baozhang's delicate little face was twisted. Zhen Baozhang muttered: "Don't worry, mother, even if you don't say it, I will work hard." ”

Cheng looked at such a competitive girl, and then nodded with relief: "That's good." ”

Although the pot throwing competition is a small game between a group of young boys, this is how the reputation gradually accumulates.

Zhuang was frightened by the old lady's words, afraid that the old lady would be confused for a while and really let her son marry Zhen Baolu, but fortunately, her sister-in-law was still self-aware and knew that the pampered and uneducated girl was not worthy of her son.

Just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard that his son lost to the eldest prince of Anguo Mansion in the pot throwing competition, Zhuang immediately felt a little uncomfortable, looked at his tall son in front of him, and said, "Isn't that pot throwing your best at?" Why did you miss it today? ”

Her son is not an impetuous person, how could he fail? In this way, Zhuang said again: "No, your mother knows best, it must be the eldest son of the Anguo Mansion who cheated to win you......" There are no elders and others around, and Zhuang has no scruples when he speaks.

Xu Chenglang was a little dissatisfied, looked at his mother, and said seriously: "Master Xue is indeed better than his son, but his son is not good at learning, mother, don't say that." ”

Xu Chenglang is a righteous gentleman, and he was a little uncomfortable when he lost the game, but he was convinced of the loss. That Xue Rang did have the ability, and that ability was not fully displayed.

But......

This is the first time Xu Chenglang has felt like this. In the past, he deliberately reserved it, and he could easily win others, but now he has been passive.

Hearing his son say this, Zhuang couldn't say anything. Xu Xiuxin still leaned over to Zhuang's side, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, my mother, the eldest brother is so powerful, I can't find a better boy than him in the entire imperial city." This time, the surnamed Xue is just lucky, and next time my brother will definitely win it back. ”

Xu Xiuxin is certainly spoiled, but this little mouth is likable, Zhuang also smiled when he heard it, and said with a smile: "You, learn a little more from your eldest brother, don't be frizzy, what is there to do with your cousin Lu, a wild girl." ”

At the mention of Zhen Baolu, Xu Xiuxin let out a low "oh" with a small face. But if something is similar, it is not the first time that Zhuang has said it, Xu Xiuxin has entered the left ear and exited the right ear every time.

When the banquet dispersed, Zhen Baolu followed her sister to send Mrs. Xue to the Anguo Mansion. Besides, Xue Yifang, she has always liked to make friends with good-looking people, and now she is naturally very close to Zhen Baolu, so she shouted: "It's my birthday in a few days, Cousin Lu must come." ”

Saying that, she was still holding Zhen Baolu's fleshy little hand, this posture, as if Zhen Baolu didn't agree, she wouldn't let go.

Zhen Baolu looked down at the hands held by the two.

Zhen Baolu didn't have many friends in her previous life, and after her father and mother died, some of the handkerchiefs in the past no longer had anything to do with her. She has an arrogant temperament, so naturally she will not take the initiative to contact them again. But the Xue Yifang in front of her, she still liked it very much, so she said to face at this time: "I will definitely come with my sister." ”

Xue Yifang smiled, only then was she satisfied, and pulled Zhen Baoqiong to speak for a while.

Mrs. Xue just looked at it, and only felt that the three little girls were standing together, how could they look comfortable. Then he turned his head sideways and looked at the two grandchildren who had come with him today. Old Lady Xue looked at Xue Rang, thought of something, and asked, "I heard that you won the first place in throwing pots today?" ”

Mrs. Xue knew that her eldest grandson had lost her mother since she was a child, and over time, she had developed a restrained and quiet temperament. This young boy should be lively and cheerful. And how can she, who is a grandmother, not love her grandchildren? She loves several grandchildren.

Xue Rang hadn't spoken yet, but Xue Tan on the side spoke, and he said: "The eldest brother is indeed a blockbuster, and even the young son of the Marquis of Changning Mansion is not as good as the eldest brother." ”

Xu Chenglang had an excellent reputation in the aristocratic circle of the Imperial City at a young age, and with his family background and cultivation, he would definitely be a promising person in the future. Xu Chenglang is only thirteen, and there are already many parents in this imperial city who are thinking about marrying their daughters to him. This old lady Xue has naturally seen Xu Chenglang, and admits that the child is polite and generous, born with a good temperament, and is a likable child. But Mrs. Xue looks at her two grandchildren, and she is not inferior.

Old Mrs. Xue quietly looked at her eldest grandson, and she didn't know if it was the reason why she hadn't paid attention for too long, but she felt that this child was a little different from usual.

Xue Rangqian said: "Today's grandson is just a fluke, Xu Gongzi is indeed worthy of his reputation." ”

Old Lady Xue nodded. The young man is steady and modest, and he is a material that can be made.

Hearing Mrs. Xue and Xue Rang talking about Xu Chenglang, Zhen Baolu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but raise her eyes and take a look. And this Xue cousin seemed to have eyes behind him, and looked at her with a slight tilt of his head.

Zhen Baolu pursed her lips and didn't speak.

After that, Mrs. Xue and Xue Yifang got into the carriage, and Zhen Baoqiong said goodbye to the two cousins who walked at the end: "Big cousin, second cousin, go slowly." ”

Xue Tan smiled at the two cousins and said to Xue, "Big brother, let's go." So saying, he walked towards his horse.

Zhen Baolu reacted at this time, hesitated for a while, and said obediently to the young man standing in front of him: "...... Big cousin walks slowly. ”

It's just a very polite and ordinary sentence.

But Zhen Baolu saw this young man with a cold expression, and after listening to her words, his eyes softened, and between his cold eyebrows, he showed a gentle smile like the first snow melting dew.

He smiled and nodded, "...... Good. ”

Zhen Baolu was slightly stunned, her small mouth opened slightly, and she said in her heart that this big cousin Xue was really laughing. Zhen Baolu secretly lowered her eyes, she has always liked beautiful things, and she was sure that she had never heard of Xue Rang in her previous life, probably because he was disabled when he grew up, and she was a little emotional for a while. Such a handsome young man, if he grows well, it will be a living scourge, just standing there, looking at the meal, it is estimated that he can eat an extra bowl.

Zhen Baolu saw her eldest cousin turn over and get on the horse, and her movements were chic and neat, and she sighed secretly in her heart.

In her previous life, in addition to admiring Xu Chenglang's rich five cars, she actually liked his graceful demeanor when he rode a horse, but now if she compares Xu Chenglang with this eldest cousin who has just met, then Xu Chenglang seems a little weak.

Zhen Baoqiong saw that the relationship between the eldest cousin and her sister was good, so she said: "I said that the eldest cousin is very good, isn't it?" ”

Zhen Baolu listened to her sister's words, but smiled and said, "It's okay." It's just a simple appreciation, Zhen Baolu didn't take it to heart, after all, in today's world, studying hard is a serious thing.

The young man on the horse suddenly turned his head to take a look, and saw the little pink dumpling standing next to his sister smiling like a flower, and his big watery eyes looked like a deer.

After just one glance, Xue Rang looked up.
