Chapter 020: Small Test [Second Update]
Β·
Zhen Baolu smiled.
The oranges she picks are naturally sweet.
However, she remembered that the orange had seeds.
Zhen Baolu turned her head sideways and looked at the eyebrows and eyes of the young man beside her, her eyes moved up and down slightly, and she saw that his throat moved, and he didn't spit out the seeds, so she thought that maybe her eldest cousin was lucky, and the petal he ate happened to be seedless.
Xu Chenglang happened to come in and saw Zhen Baolu sitting next to Xue Rang, his eyes were slightly stunned, and then he walked over and said, "How is Xue Gongzi's injury?" "Today, Xue Rang and Song Zhi had an accident in the horse farm of the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, Xu Chenglang is naturally responsible, but fortunately, the injuries of the two are not serious.
Xue Rang put away the gentleness between his eyebrows quietly, looked at Xu Chenglang, who was as warm as jade in front of him, and said, "It's not a big deal." It is inevitable that this horseback riding injury will be injured, and Xu Gongzi does not need to take it to heart. β
Xu Chenglang said: "Xue Gongzi is fine. Thinking about what happened just now, if it weren't for Xue Rang's timely response, I am afraid that Song Zhi would have died under his horse's hooves...... Xu Chenglang naturally blamed himself in his heart, but the incident happened suddenly, and Xu Chenglang, a young boy, was inevitably at a loss. In the final analysis, Xu Chenglang is still very grateful to Xue Rang.
At this time, Song Zhi, who had good medicine next door, was about to return home, and he came over to thank Xue Rang for saving his life.
Xue Rang obviously treated Song Zhi with a gentler attitude.
Song Zhi was born in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and he has dealt with the sons and brothers in those aristocratic circles, but now this Xue Dagongzi is only meeting him for the first time, and he sacrificed himself to save him like this, which makes Song Zhi very admired in his heart, and now he sees Xue Rang's humble attitude, and he appreciates it from the bottom of his heart. decided that this Xue Rang was a person worth befriending.
There were a lot of people around Song Zhi, Zhen Baolu only made sure that he was not seriously injured and came to Xue Rang's side, and now he saw that Song Zhi came over by himself after taking the medicine, and it was indeed okay to think about it. Zhen Baolu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if she didn't have a big cousin today, then the horse's hooves would be stepped on, and this Song Zhi was afraid that he would be crippled if he didn't die. What about her sister!
Now that I think about it, that picture is indeed very dangerous, even her usually steady Cousin Xu is out of proportion for a while.
Zhen Baolu looked at her eldest cousin's eyebrows, her lips raised slightly, and then she looked at Song Zhi, who also smiled at her.
Xu Chenglang personally sent Song Zhi out.
Zhen Baolu stayed in the house, thinking that this kind of thing had happened today, and she felt that it was not too early, and it was time to go back.
Zhen Baolu glanced at Xue Rang beside him and wanted to say goodbye.
But his eldest cousin also glanced at her: "Cousin Lu." β
"Hmm." Zhen Baolu responded, and said, "Big cousin, I ......"
"Can you peel me another orange?"
Zhen Baolu was stunned, thinking of his injured arm and palm, he was embarrassed to refuse, and smiled: "Of course you can." Then he picked up an orange from the fruit bowl and peeled it neatly.
Xue Rang seems to like eating oranges very much.
After eating one, Zhen Baolu couldn't help but smile and said, "Big cousin, your luck is really good, you even ate two without seeds." β
Β·
After returning home, Zhen Baolu told Zhen Baoqiong about the thrilling incident that happened in the racecourse today. After Zhen Baoqiong heard this, she pulled her sister up and looked her up and down, and said hurriedly: "Let my sister see, what injuries do you have?" β
Zhen Baolu looked at her sister's nervous appearance, and then held her sister's hand and comforted: "Sister, don't worry, I was standing on the side at that time, where would I be hurt?" β
Saying this, Zhen Baoqiong saw that her sister's little face was as white as jade, and her hands were white and tender, and there was really not a single hair missing.
Zhen Baoqiong breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's okay if you're fine." Also, horseback riding is too dangerous for me to let you go. "It was a good intention, but at this time, Zhen Baoqiong felt that she was not thoughtful enough, her sister is young, Rao is Xu Chenglang, and it is better to go less in places like the racecourse.
Seeing that her sister was full of herself, Zhen Baolu couldn't help but bend her lips, and thought of Song Zhi who she saw today, and said: "That Song Gongzi is really fateful, fortunately he has a big cousin." β
Zhen Baoqiong is a little girl raised in the boudoir, she is a relative who goes to relatives during the New Year's holidays, and the people she sees are also cousins and cousins. Now that Xue Rang saved this Song Gongzi, he naturally paid all his attention to Xue Rang's cousin, and said, "Is the eldest cousin really okay?" β
Zhen Baolu nodded, and talked to her sister about the scene at that time: "...... I was stupid when I stood on the side with my cousin Xiuxin, and Cousin Xu was also scared, and the eldest cousin was almost at the end, but he suddenly jumped down and lifted Song Gongzi over......"
Zhen Baoqiong had never seen such a dangerous thing, and listened attentively, and when she heard Xue Rang mention Song Gongzi, she was puzzled: "You said that Song Gongzi is fourteen or fifteen years old?" β
Zhen Baolu thought about it, she remembered that her brother-in-law was four years older than her sister, and now her sister was only eleven, so Song Zhi should be fifteen. Zhen Baolu nodded and said, "Yes, it should be older than Cousin Xu." β
Zhen Baoqiong said: "Then Cousin Xue is only fourteen, and he can bring up this Song Gongzi......"
This one......
Zhen Baolu's mouth opened wide. It happened suddenly, and then she panicked, but she didn't think too much about it. Now listening to her sister's words, Zhen Baolu carefully recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help sighing again: "The strength of the eldest cousin is really great. "No wonder it's someone who wants to be a martial artist in the future.
Zhen Baolu frowned. Thinking that her eldest cousin looks like a gentleman on his face, he is not at all like such a powerful person.
After being surprised, Zhen Baolu looked at her sister's delicate cheeks and asked in a low voice, "Does my sister know that Song Gongzi?" β
Zhen Baoqiong is a girl in the boudoir, so she can mention a foreign man casually, but she knows that her sister is still young, and she is afraid that she does not have this concept, so she said truthfully at the moment: "No." What's wrong? β
Zhen Baolu smiled and said that it was nothing, and then looked at her sister and said, "I just think this second son of Song is quite kind." β
Zhen Baoqiong naturally didn't know that her sister regarded the second son of Song as her brother-in-law in her heart, so she felt that he was kind, but she only felt that her sister was born cute, and others looked at the cute little girl, so she was naturally friendly, which was not uncommon.
While the two sisters were talking, Mama Zhu next to Zhen Baolu walked in, holding a white porcelain vial in her hand, and looked at Zhen Baolu and was a little flustered, and said, "Where is the girl injured?" Why don't you say it to the old slave? Saying that, he annoyed Xiang Han again, "Xiang Han, this girl, she is steady on weekdays, why is she so sloppy today, and she doesn't say a word when the girl is injured." β
Zhen Baolu reacted at this time, it turned out that Xu Chenglang sent someone to bring her jade skin cream. Zhen Baolu's heart warmed, it was hard for this kind of thing to happen today, and he still remembered such a trivial matter. She had forgotten about herself.
As soon as Zhu Mama said, Zhen Baoqiong, who was relieved, was even more startled, and even her voice was louder: "Where is it hurt?" β
Zhen Baolu couldn't cry or laugh, so she raised her hand and pushed the bangs in front of her forehead, pointed to her forehead, which no longer hurt, and said, "Oh, this is it." I accidentally hit the carriage today, sister, you see, it doesn't hurt anymore. Cousin Xu is just making a big fuss. β
Although it is not strict, there are still some faint bruises in the end, and Zhen Baolu's skin is snow-white and delicate, which is more and more obvious. When Zhen Baoqiong can't help pinching her sister's little cheek on weekdays, she doesn't dare to push too hard.
At this time, Zhen Baoqiong was still very distressed, took the jade skin cream in Mama Zhu's hand, and muttered about applying it for her sister.
Zhen Baolu grinned, looking naughty that she didn't have a long memory. can make Zhen Baoqiong distressed and helpless.
Β·
This is the last time Zhen Baolu went out before the test, and then he closed the door to study, except for studying in the Yupan Mountain House every day, he asked the old lady to say goodbye, and then went to Yi'anju to watch the two younger brothers spit bubbles.
On the second room, Zhen Baozhang originally inquired about Zhen Baoqiong's situation, because Zhen Baolu had changed her temperament during this time, and Mr. Xie praised her for the first time, and Zhen Baozhang also inquired about Zhen Baolu by the way. Hearing that Zhen Baolu studied very hard these days, and read books very late at night, Zhen Baozhang stopped the pen in his hand and said, "My sixth cousin has really become well-behaved." β
Zhen Baozhang is not like Zhen Baoyue, feeling that Zhen Baolu is just pretending to please Mr. Xie. Zhen Baozhang understands that this sixth cousin is younger than her, and she didn't take the class seriously before, but now she has caught up with her with all her efforts, which is obviously not to be underestimated. It is impossible to surpass her in a short period of time, but with such progress, given time, she will not be a strong opponent.
It is tricky enough to have a Zhen Baoqiong in the long room, and she can't let her sixth cousin catch up with her......
Thinking again, her mother was punished by the old lady during this period and locked up in the house to copy Buddhist scriptures, also because of this sixth cousin.
As a daughter, where can you endure this breath?
Zhen Baozhang said with his personal maid: "You go to Xiao Xiaoju and invite the fifth girl to come over, saying that I got a delicate bracelet a few days ago, the style is not available in the imperial city, let her come and take a look, if she likes it, give it to her." β
In response to the winter, he went to the third room to find the fifth girl, Zhen Baoyue.
After a while, Zhen Baoyue came over with a smile: "Third sister." β
Zhen Baoyue is the only concubine in the third room, and there is a sister Zhen Baoqing above, but Zhen Baoyue regards herself as noble and doesn't like to be with her sister, but she likes this third cousin who reads poetry and books and treats people kindly. Zhen Baoyue admires good studying, and naturally admires the fourth cousin Zhen Baoqiong, but the fourth cousin in the long room has an annoying sister, Zhen Baoyue doesn't like Zhen Baolu, and naturally she is not close to Zhen Baoqiong.
In this way, Zhen Baoyue became closer to the two cousins in the second room, especially Zhen Baozhang.
In order to try it out, Zhen Baoyue, who had a headache when she saw the book, also locked up in the room every day to review her homework seriously, at this time Zhen Baozhang came to call her, and said that there was a good-looking bracelet, Zhen Baoyue immediately became interested, so she came over: "Third sister, where is the bracelet?" β
Zhen Baozhang smiled, and ordered the maid to take the carved magnolia rosewood box on the dresser, and when she opened it, there was a gilt water ripple bracelet inside, and it was also decorated with two delicate small bells, which looked quite exquisite. Zhen Baoyue immediately said: "This bracelet is so beautiful." β
Zhen Baozhang looked at Zhen Baoyue's eager appearance, so he picked up the bracelet and put it on for her personally, held Zhen Baoyue's hand and looked at it, and said: "The fifth sister is just right to wear, if the fifth sister doesn't dislike it, this bracelet will be given to you." β
Zhen Baoyue has not received a gift from Zhen Baozhang, although she wants it very much at this time, but in the end, she has to be polite, and said: "It's not good...... but his eyes didn't leave the bracelet for half a minute.
Zhen Baozhang patted Zhen Baoyue's hand lightly and said, "We are cousins, mine is yours, why are you so polite?" β
Zhen Baoyue was young after all, so she didn't shirk anymore, and accepted it with a smile.
Zhen Baozhang asked again how the preparation for the small test was. As soon as she said this, Zhen Baoyue, who was smiling primitively, drooped her head and muttered, "I'm afraid I'm going to be at the bottom again this time......"
Zhen Baozhang said: "Fifth sister, you are smart, if you work harder, you will naturally be able to pass the test of other sisters." Butβit didn't hurt that you and the sixth sister were on the same level, and the two of them were a little behind, after all, you two were younger. It's just that in the past few days, I have seen that the sixth sister is diligent and hardworking, and the fourth sister is guiding me, I am afraid that it will improve by leaps and bounds......" Zhen Baozhang sighed again, "When the time comes, Mr. Xie can't help but compare you with the sixth sister, who is two years younger than you." β
Zhen Baoyue doesn't like Zhen Baolu's temperament, but seeing that Zhen Baolu is at the bottom with her every time she tries a small test, she is still a little glad to have a companion. This cushion is cushioned, and she is used to it, but if Zhen Baolu has made great progress this time, she will be left alone at the bottom.
After listening to Zhen Baozhang's words, Zhen Baoyue immediately reacted, and said with a sad face: "The third sister, I'm ...... What should I do? β
Although she hasn't tried it yet, she doesn't know the questions that Mr. Xie has asked in class these days, but the sixth sister can answer them. It's already obvious.
Zhen Baozhang frowned, and said that there was no way: "After all, this kind of thing can be done in a day or two." β
Zhen Baoyue's eyes were red and she sniffed.
I heard Zhen Baozhang say again: "Unless you ......"
Zhen Baoyue knows that her third sister is smart, and if there is any problem that is difficult to solve, as long as the third sister is there, she can come up with a way. At this time, although Zhen Baozhang's voice was small, Zhen Baoyue still heard it immediately. She hurriedly grabbed Zhen Baozhang's sleeve and asked, "Unless what?" Does the third sister have a way? β
saw Zhen Baozhang shaking his head and muttering: "No, the sixth sister is also our cousin after all." We can't do that. β
Is this a way, but you won't sue her?
Zhen Baoyue was so anxious that she cried and cried: "Third sister, you can sue me." As long as you sue me, I will definitely not tell others, whether it will be successful or not, the third sister ......"
Zhen Baozhang hesitated for a while, then whispered in Zhen Baoyue's ear, and after finishing speaking, looking at Zhen Baoyue's stunned expression, he lowered his eyes and said, "This is not very good." But...... With the temperament of the sixth sister, even if we don't do it, she may be happy to ...... herself."
Zhen Baoyue was hesitant, after all, this kind of thing is indeed too ruthless.
Hearing the second half of Zhen Baozhang's words, Zhen Baoyue reacted.
Yes, with the temperament of her sixth sister, where is the kind of person who will try it in a down-to-earth manner?
Β·
The next day was the day of the six girls in the Yupan Mountain House. After each try, there will be a full five days off. For this group of little girls who study all day, it is naturally a happy thing. In addition, this time the old lady happened to go to Lingfeng Temple to worship the Buddha, and she could stay on the mountain for a few days, which was more and more exciting.
And Zhen Baolu has never worked so hard in his two lives combined. Coupled with what the old lady said to her before, Zhen Baolu knew that this was the opportunity given to her by her ancestors. If you grasp it well, the old ancestor will definitely like her. Thinking like this, Zhen Baolu began to look forward to the scene where she did well in the small test and her father and mother were happy.
Zhen Baoqiong thought that her sister was nervous, so she reached out and pinched the back of her sister's hand and said, "Don't be nervous." "Her sister can understand it at all, Zhen Baoqiong believes that today's small test will not be difficult for her.
Zhen Baolu smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not nervous." β
Zhen Baolu has no advantages, and this good attitude is one of the rare advantages. It's just that it's too important, and she doesn't want to make a mistake this time. She also wants to accompany her ancestor to Lingfeng Temple, and she wants her sister to stand by the ancestor's side like that, and become the granddaughter she takes out with a bright face.
After Zhen Baolu sat down with her sister, Zhen Baojun and Zhen Baozhang in the second room, and Zhen Baoyue in the third room also came in together.
The sisters said hello and sat down.
It's just that Zhen Baoyue, who is lively on weekdays, didn't say a word today, and just sat silently in her place.
Zhen Baolu glanced at it suspiciously, then stopped caring, just sat quietly in her place, and passed what she saw yesterday in her mind. Later, Xie Fuzi came in, and saw that several little girls were sitting upright, as if they were ready, so they began to try their hair rolls.
When the paper was sent, Zhen Baolu didn't rush to do it, but browsed the paper, and saw that the questions on it were all remembered by her, and she smiled.
Xie Fuzi originally didn't like this Zhen Liu girl who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but now it was pleasing to the eye, seeing that her little face was full of smiles, full of confidence, and her eyebrows were slightly stretched, and then he said to several little girls: "Okay, hurry up and make rolls." β
For a while, the classroom was quiet, and several little girls each lowered their heads and answered the papers.
Zhen Baolu did it very smoothly. This is a feeling she has never had, thinking about her last life, she bites the pen and cries with a sad face every time she tries a small attempt.
Now that I think about it, it was indeed a matter of the previous life.
Xie Fuzi didn't stay in the classroom all the time, and went out for a walk halfway, obviously trusting this group of little girls, after all, they were all girls from the Guogong Mansion.
Zhen Baolu finished answering the paper and looked around, her sister was still writing, and Zhen Baozhang on the other side was also still writing.
Why don't you check it out?
However, Zhen Baolu's temperament can't be changed all at once, Rao has suffered so many losses in her previous life, and she still can't learn half of her sister's safety. Xie Fuzi came in, saw that Zhen Baolu had already put down the pen, and saw that the top of the volume was full of words, so he asked, "Finished writing?" β
Zhen Baolu nodded, knowing what Master Xie meant, so she got up and handed the scroll to Master Xie.
Xie Fuzi took Zhen Baolu's scroll, and his eyes skimmed roughly on the scroll before he nodded.
Zhen Baolu pursed her lips and smiled, and her little back straightened a little.
Xie Fuzi said: "Okay, then you go out first, don't disturb others to answer the questions." β
Zhen Baolu nodded obediently and was about to go out, but saw Zhen Baoyue, who was sitting in the last row, stand up and whispered, "Master Xie, I have something to tell you." β
The little girl's voice was soft and a little nervous.
