The brother and sister happily ate a meal together that was neither lunch nor dinner, and Zhou Xiaofu, who drank three bowls of soup, felt that she had come to life.

Zhou Xiaoyang, who had stopped the chopsticks early, furrowed his delicate eyebrows, and looked at his sister who had already eaten four bowls of rice and drank three bowls of soup with some concern.

Zhou Xiaoyang thought with some worry, I don't know if my sister's in-laws will dislike having such a daughter-in-law who can eat so much, alas, I have to find a rich in-law for my sister when the time comes, otherwise I can eat like this, and I will scare everyone away.

After eating, Qingbi stepped forward to clean up the table, and Cuihua quickly made a pot of Pu'er tea, and the two briefly chatted about some things in the palace.

Cuihua and Qingbi retreated to the pantry on the west side of the hall to wait, leaving space for the two siblings to talk.

After Zhou Xiaofu told the whole detail, he saw Zhou Xiaoyang's face surprised, originally he also guessed that he asked his sister and second sister to go over to choose a wife for Gongsun Changshun.

Because this queen mother was originally from the eldest grandson's family, and Gongsun Changshun is the queen mother's nephew and Gongsun Ling's sister.

So it's not abrupt or strange for the queen to ask about this matter, but she asked a few words when she called over, and did some strange things, this is the queen, how can she let a little girl cool outside for half an hour, if it is another season, this winter in Kyoto is amazing.

Come here again to send them out. Why did you run away halfway, this is too strange, no matter how you say that the public rules are strict, there are these little palace maids who dare to do this, someone must have instructed them, but this harem is the queen's strongest in addition to the queen mother, and it is still on the queen's territory. Who has nothing to do to stumble on the people invited by the queen.

The only possibility is the Empress herself.

Zhou Xiaoyang's face became a little strange. The corners of his eyes twitched, and he was a little skeptical of his guess, but he suddenly remembered some rumors about the queen before. I feel that I guessed the best this time.

Zhou Xiaofu watched her brother's face change back and forth, and wanted to open her mouth to ask, but she saw that he was embarrassed.

Zhou Xiaoyang was embarrassed for a long time before saying: "Actually, we can't talk about other women at will, especially if this person is still the current queen." It's rude, but it's just two of us today. Let's put it simply. ”

Only then did Zhou Xiaofu understand Zhou Xiaoyang's embarrassment, the education of men and women in ancient times was different, and it was rude for a man to talk about women in private, let alone talk about the mother of the country today.

Zhou Xiaoyang thought for a while before he arrived: "There are rumors. The queen was a very naughty girl before marriage, and she liked to use some strange methods to fix people. ”

Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, so they were tricked this time?

Zhou Xiaoyang suddenly understood what her sister meant from her daze. immediately explained: "This time I didn't deliberately fix people or anything, I think the queen is afraid that she is going to test something." For example, let you stand and wait outside the main hall, I am afraid that I want to see if you are patient, and when I see you asking, it is to see your rules and responses, and then the palace maid runs away and throws you there, I am afraid that I also want to see your response, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the Gongsun family to choose a daughter-in-law. ”

Zhou Xiaofu only then understood, no wonder there were always people following behind, and when she was holding the stiff second sister, someone kept staring at the side of the palace, and she never figured it out.

This queen is strange enough, but this method can indeed see the results most realistically, and the method is really good, but it is a little strange that it is the queen who does this, Zhou Xiaofu twitched the corners of her eyes, is she boring.

Zhou Xiaoyang knew his sister's thoughts and said a little sarcastically: "Last year, there was an aunt in the school who was widowed and became a layman, and taught some girls in the boudoir in her spare time. ”

When Zhou Xiaofu heard this, she was stunned, it turned out that the queen was like this when she was a girl, so how could she enter the palace, it was really pitiful, such a character entered the palace like a bird entering a cage, and its wings were broken, and there was still the meaning of saving zài.

No wonder Niangniang started to play with her and her second sister today, it turned out to be really boring.

Seeing that his sister was fine, and things were almost discussed, Zhou Xiaoyang, as a man, still couldn't stay with his sister for too long, so he was ready to leave.

Zhou Xiaofu stopped and pulled her brother into her bedroom together, the two lined up, Zhou Xiaofu made five movements, and then stopped and let her brother try to do it.

This is a set of second-level military boxing learned in the previous life, this set of boxing is the boxing method in the army at that time, the second-level military boxing is mainly composed of beating, grabbing knives, grabbing guns, attacking and other basic combat routines. The movements are concise and practical, and every move is a "move to defeat the enemy", which can protect oneself, and at the same time can exercise the body and enhance the physique.

Zhou Xiaofu saw that her sister's five movements seemed simple but not simple, and each move contained a trick to control the enemy, after all, she had recently learned the breathing method, and her comprehension of martial arts was becoming clearer and clearer.

Zhou Xiaoyang followed the five actions taught by his sister just now, first did it while seeing that his brother's five actions were done, and then broke down the actions taught just now and explained it, talking about the essentials needed when facing the enemy, and the characteristics of each action, how to exert force better.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyang learned very quickly, he quickly mastered it, but he was not very familiar with it, if he really faced the enemy, he was afraid that he would not be able to use the true power of this military body fist, and he could only use it skillfully.

So I told my brother to go back and practice slowly, and when he was familiar with it in two days, he would teach the next five movements.

This set of military body fists only has 36 movements, which is not very complicated, but it is very fast and stable in controlling the enemy, which is very suitable for the army. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaofu suddenly thought about it, this set of boxing techniques can actually be taught to her uncle and them, so that they can be promoted in the army, isn't it better, especially the potential power, which makes her always panic.

The happy Zhou Xiaofu told her brother what she thought.

Zhou Xiaoyang also felt that his sister's method was feasible. It can increase the prestige of my grandfather in the army.

Zhou Xiaoyang, who got the new boxing method, left excitedly. And Zhou Xiaofu opened the silk flower given by the queen's mother, made of silk and satin, and dotted with some gold threads in the middle. It is not very valuable, but it mainly shows the royal grace.

Three of them were taken out and handed over to Cuihua, Qingbi and Zining, which were big for the New Year. Let everyone be happy, this is made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's not that you can buy things with money, most of these silk flowers are obtained in every palace, and they are specially used for rewards.

Cuihua and Qingbi Zining are just maidservants. Zhou Xiaofu took it out to reward them, and suddenly felt a little afraid to accept it, but saw that Zhou Xiaofu insisted on accepting it.

After thinking about it. Zhou Xiaofu counted them, and there were thirty flowers. Let Cuihua in addition to Zhou Xiaolan, the other sisters in the house each send four flowers over, in addition to Zhou Xiaolan and herself, that is, there are three girls, four each, and only twelve flowers will be given, and the rest of Zhou Xiaofu plans to go to her grandmother's house on the sixth day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, to a few cousins, these pink and tender things are still suitable for little girls, although she is only a little girl now, but her mental age is already in her thirties, I really don't like these, I really don't like them, I really don't get used to wearing flowers on my head, It's so strange that there is none.

Cuihua, who came back from sending the flowers, looked unhappy, pouted, and held a paper bag in her hand. It was as if someone owed her a few hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Xiaofu is reading a book, there is no need to pay New Year's greetings today, they are relatively idle, and they will only start to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, because there are women and relatives who are officials in the family, and they all have to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, so they don't need to pay New Year's greetings to their elders, and they are all changed to the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Looking at Cuihua with an angry face, Qingbi and Zining were a little puzzled, Qingbi would already be familiar with Cuihua, but because she was a dead soldier before, she didn't talk much, and Zining was originally selected by orphans, far from the things that Qingbi had experienced, so she recently went to the Zhou Mansion to restore some of her daughter's temperament, and there was some gossip.

Seeing that Cuihua was unhappy, she stepped forward and pinched her forearm and said, "What's the matter, who messed with you?" Don't you think the girl gave less flowers, then you say, I'll give you mine. Zi Ning smiled.

Cuihua patted Zining angrily, and said with a look of grievance: "I dislike the girl there to give less, it's Miss Five, the girl asked me to send some silk flowers to each young lady, but when I sent it to the courtyard of Miss Five, I saw her disgust, and threw it directly to the peony to wear, which was rewarded by the queen's mother, and our four girls were already in a heart." ”

Zi Ning has been coming to Zhou Mansion for a while, and she also knows that these five young ladies have some discord with her own young lady, and the fifth young lady's mother is her biological mother, and her own young lady's biological mother went early, no wonder Cuihua is angry, and she directly rewards the things sent by others to her subordinates, what kind of person is this.

Zi Ning appeased Cuihua for a long time, Cuihua was better, Qingbi didn't speak, but seeing that Cuihua was angry, she also patted her shoulder, smiled, and expressed her kindness.

Regarding what Cuihua said, Zhou Xiaofu heard it clearly on the couch, but she kept looking at the book and didn't look up, Zhou Xiaoxuan's reaction was already what she expected, and she would feel strange if she happily accepted it.

It doesn't matter, it's not that we have to live together for a lifetime, and we don't have to rely on her to live.

Zhou Xiaofu, who suddenly thought of something, said to Cuihua, who was pouting and her eyes were a little red: "Okay, don't be wronged, don't you know who she is, what happened to the situation you sent to the sixth sister?" ”

Cuihua heard the young lady's question and quickly packed up her love, walked to Zhou Xiaofu's couch and took a small mattress to cover the girl's legs before saying: "It's nothing, Aunt Wang is very grateful, saying that she didn't expect to get the girl's share of the reward, and the tears of joy came down, and the sixth young lady was also grateful, but she was very calm." ”

Listening to Cuihua's description, Zhou Xiaofu nodded, and saw that Cuihua suddenly remembered something and picked up a paper bag from the machine on the side and said: "Oh, Fourth Miss, the slave maid is now so remorseful, patronizing and angry, just now I went to send silk flowers to the eldest lady, she happily accepted it, and gave a box of pastry Xuan's dim sum, no, the slave maid forgot to say it just now." ”

Zhou Xiaofu glanced at the snack box with a faint look, and curled the corners of her mouth to Cuihua and said, "You said that the eldest sister is very happy?" ”

Cuihua immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the eldest lady is worthy of being everyone's lady, her bearing is really unusual, she happily accepted the things, and gave a return gift to the slave."

Cuihua was embarrassed to continue.

Zhou Xiaofu said clearly: "I also gave you a reward, right?" ”

Cuihua was a little embarrassed when she heard what Zhou Xiaofu said, in fact, she was helping the young lady to give gifts or something in the house, and those who got gifts would more or less give a dozen copper coins to the maid who gave things, especially if it was the New Year, so she didn't feel embarrassed to say anything.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "Give it, you can take it." Then he turned to Qingbi and Zining and said, "You guys also come down." ”

Seeing that the three of them were standing in front of him, Zhou Xiaofu sat up and glanced at the three of them seriously: "The good people and bad people in this mansion are not what you can see clearly with your eyes, so I am here to remind me, don't tell anyone about my courtyard, if someone calculates, our master and servant will be unlucky, since you all serve me, I will definitely give you a good future in the future." ”

Cuihua's face suddenly became a little embarrassed when she heard Zhou Xiaofu say this, in fact, she went to give silk flowers to a few young ladies just now, except for the fifth miss, even the sixth miss who looked the most down-to-earth gave herself a reward, is it that Miss blames her for accepting the gift?

Zhou Xiaofu saw that Cuihua had misunderstood, so she arrived: "It's not that you won't be allowed to accept those rewards, and you will just receive them in the future, but in your heart, you can't identify everything that looks good on the surface as a good person, and you will have no defense when she uses you to do something in the future, and you have already subconsciously decided that people are good people, this is what I want to say today, I hope everyone must be defensive against others." ”

After saying that, the three of them retreated, and Cuihua was innocent, and she thought about what Miss said for a long time, Miss meant that she didn't trust people too much, she understood now, but what does it mean that a good person is not necessarily a good person?

Maybe you can only wait for Cuihua to suffer a loss to understand what this means. (To be continued)
