It's a new week again.,Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, and rush to the new book list ~O(∩_∩)O~

－－－－－－－－－－

Until it was dark, Xu Zheng did not come back.

Zou couldn't sit still, so he sent Li's mother to the concierge to ask twice, and muttered: "Why hasn't Zheng'er come back yet?" This poetry party doesn't go on until the evening! ”

Xu Jinyu was amused when she heard it: "Mother, don't worry about this." It is true that the poetry meeting will not last long, but the young people will inevitably have to chat and socialize when they get together, and they will definitely come back after dinner. Besides, the eldest brother is not an ignorant child, and it will be fine if he stays outside for a while. ”

After a pause, he smiled and quipped: "Haven't you been looking forward to your eldest brother's success?" People who only know how to bury their heads in reading all day long, do not know how to be flexible. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you will not have much success in the future. The eldest brother made friends as soon as he arrived in the capital, which is a good thing. ”

Zou smiled: "Yes, this is a good thing, I worry too much." ”

In fact, Zou may not understand these truths. It's just because I care too much about Xu Zheng that I will suffer so much from gains and losses.

The same is true in previous lives.

After Xu Zheng was admitted to Tanhua, he did not enter the Hanlin Academy, and made a long history of the Qin Palace's mansion under the recommendation of the prince Ji Ze. Because of his outstanding talent and thoughtful actions, he won the favor of King Qin, and he was extremely beautiful for a while. Zou is very proud of his son. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the situation changed color in just a few years. The evidence of the murder of the crown prince by the king of Qin is conclusive, and he was poisoned and died. The people of King Qin's party were implicated. Xu Zheng, who was only twenty-two years old, came to a bleak end.

When Zou learned of the bad news, he committed suicide that night with a white silk hanging beam.

She was placed under house arrest in the Grange and was not well informed. I learned the bad news a few days later, and I cried all night.

She was saddened by her brother's vain death, and even more saddened by Zou's resolute death. Zou completely forgot that his daughter was imprisoned in the grange, leaving her alone, and resolutely died with his son

Recalling the bitterness and bitterness at the beginning, Xu Jinyu couldn't help but feel secretly depressed in her heart. But my mother's intention to favor my brother is not a matter of a day or two, and it is useless to think too much.

Xu Jinyu put these thoughts behind her and asked Chu Xia: "The food in the kitchen has been delivered!" ”

Chu Xia replied with a smile: "I have already sent it and set it up." I'm afraid it's cold now, or the slave will bring the food back to the kitchen to warm it up. ”

"Don't bother." Xu Jinyu smiled casually: "It's not cold, and the food can be eaten if it's cold." ”

The daughter is so understanding, Zou feels both relieved and a little guilty. It was she who insisted on waiting for Xu Zheng to come back, and the food she was waiting for was cold.

"Let's have the food brought to the kitchen and heat it up!" Zou Shi said calmly: "It doesn't take much effort, the maid in the kitchen will never run to your aunt and mutter about this little thing." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled faintly: "They really don't dare to chew their tongues in front of their aunts, and it's hard to say what they will say in private." We live in the Hou Mansion, and there are already many troubles. It's better to leave less talk and people. ”

Zou couldn't resist Xu Jinyu, so he had to nod in agreement.

My daughter is indeed not the same as before. is becoming more and more assertive, speaking without hurry, but every sentence is irrefutable

The meals were delivered from the large kitchen of the Weininghou Mansion.

The eight-course dishes, with a suitable combination of meat and vegetables, are also exquisite and delicious. It's just a little colder, and the food is a little less flavorful.

Zou remembered Xu Zheng in his heart, and ate a few bites hastily, but he didn't know the taste of the food, and soon put down his chopsticks.

Xu Jinyu ate with relish.

When I was confined in my previous life, my food was simple and coarse. Of course, she is not used to being pampered. But the taste of hunger was even more uncomfortable, so I could only force myself to eat one bite at a time. Later, she disfigured herself and hid in the embroidery village, and it was even more impossible to pay attention to the food, and it would be good to be able to fill her stomach.

The food in front of him was delicious for Xu Jinyu, who had been struggling for ten years.

Zou couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he saw Xu Jinyu eating happily.

Xu Jinyu grew up with fine clothes and jade food, and she is also very picky about food. How did the food that had already cooled down get into her mouth?

"Jin Niang," when Xu Jinyu was serving the second bowl of rice, Zou finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "Can you get used to eating these meals?" ”

Xu Jinyu saw at a glance what Zou was thinking, and smiled casually: "What is there to eat." It's just cooler, and I'm not that delicate. ”

She was telling the truth, but Zou thought she was coaxing herself by saying this. I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and sighed: "I wronged you tonight." It's all my fault, I have to wait for your eldest brother to come back. Otherwise, you don't need to eat cold dishes and cold rice. ”

Xu Jinyu smiled indifferently: "Mother, don't think nonsense, I don't feel wronged" Before the words fell, familiar footsteps sounded at the door.

Xu Zheng is back!

Zou didn't care about listening to Xu Jinyu anymore, and immediately got up to greet him.

Xu Jinyu: ""

The eccentricity is too obvious! Xu Jinyu muttered secretly in her heart, naturally her face would not be revealed, and she greeted each other with a smile.

"Zheng'er, why did you come back so late? Have you had dinner? Zou stepped forward to ask for warmth, smelling the faint smell of wine wafting from Xu Zheng's body, and couldn't help but wrinkle his brows: "Are you drinking?" ”

Xu Zheng Junxiu's face was not a little impatient, and he explained with a smile: "The poetry meeting is set up in the teahouse, and it will be over in the afternoon. However, today, Ji Er's cousin made the east again and invited everyone to the restaurant to drink, but I couldn't push it off, so I had to go with it. ”

Zou immediately instructed Li's mother to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of decanting soup.

Xu Zheng smiled disappreliantly: "I only drank a few glasses of wine, and I didn't get drunk, so I don't need any decanting soup." And it's so late, the people in the kitchen must have rested, so don't bother. ”

"You're used to reading at night, how can you do it when you're dizzy." Zou insisted unusually well: "It's just a bowl of sobering soup, and it will be ready soon." I went to the kitchen myself, and I didn't think anyone in the kitchen would dare to slack off. ”

I couldn't help but lead Li's mother to the kitchen.

Leaving Xu Zheng with a helpless face, he sighed at Xu Jinyu: "Mother is good at everything, but she is too considerate and serious." ”

Being considerate and more honest also depends on whether people are good or not. The meal was cold just now, and Zou was not so determined to go to the kitchen to heat up a hot meal.

Xu Jinyu half-truthfully joked: "Big brother, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing." If it were me, my mother might not be willing to go to the kitchen herself! ”

Xu Jinyu was joking, but Xu Zheng seemed to hear something, smiled, and strode into the dining room to look at the dining table. After seeing the food without heat on the table, Xu Zheng's face was very ugly.

Xu Zheng knew Zou too well, and almost immediately guessed what was going on: "My mother must have insisted on waiting for me to have dinner with me until the food was cold." Because you live here, it's inconvenient to take it back to the kitchen to heat the meal, so you and your mother eat cold food! ”

There was a faint hint of dissatisfaction and forbearance in his tone.

Half of this dissatisfaction and anger is caused by self-blame, and the other half is caused by Zou's eccentric behavior.

The brother and sister have grown up together since childhood, get along day and night, and have an excellent relationship. Xu Zheng didn't say everything, Xu Jinyu also knew what he was thinking, and his heart couldn't help but warm: "Big brother, don't blame yourself, and don't blame your mother." My mother said before that she would send the food back to the kitchen to heat it up, but I stopped it. My mother couldn't resist me, so she had to eat a cold meal with me. ”

Xu Zheng still couldn't let go: "No matter what, you shouldn't be wronged like this." If it was because he lived in the Hou Mansion and didn't want to bother to keep someone talking, why did he have to go to the kitchen to make a decanting soup just now? ”

The answer is too obvious.

The Zou family is eccentric, and he can do anything for Xu Zheng, but when it comes to Xu Jinyu, he will inevitably have to make some discounts.

Both brothers and sisters know this.

Xu Jinyu occasionally felt a little sour in her heart, but she had long been used to it in the past few years: "You have to warm up your books until midnight every night, and you really can't wait for sobering soup." Mother does this for you. I don't even mind, what else do you have to be angry about. ”

Xu Zheng was dumbfounded, and his handsome eyebrows fell silent in the candlelight. After a while, he whispered: "Sister, in the past few years, my mother has been biased towards me everywhere, and I can't help but be negligent to you." You've been wronged."

When Xu Han was alive, the Xu family of four had a loving father, son, filial piety, and virtuous daughters, who were not rich and noble, but happy and happy. Xu Han attaches great importance to his eldest son Xu Zheng, but his favorite is his daughter Xu Jinyu. Every day, he set aside time to personally teach Xu Jinyu to read, practice calligraphy and draw.

At that time, the Zou family personally took care of the food, clothing and daily life of a pair of children, and they were all very careful.

After Xu Han died of a serious illness, Zou also fell seriously ill. After recovering from his illness, Zou's temperament has changed a lot, and he has put almost all his energy and thoughts on Xu Zheng, and he can't help but be a little negligent to Xu Jinyu. attaches great importance to Xu Zheng's studies, and even to the point of being a little overly nervous.

For the young Xu Zheng, his mother's expectations are the driving force, so isn't it a heavy pressure?

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes, her eyes were bright and gentle, and she said softly: "Big brother, I am not wronged. The person who is really wronged has always been you. ”

A sixteen-year-old boy should have indulged in a fresh coat and angry horses.

Xu Zheng's youth came to an abrupt end at the age of thirteen.

He forced himself to mature and grow up, forced himself to take on the responsibility of supporting the household, and forced himself to study diligently every night. Just to get fame in the imperial examination as soon as possible, Guangzong Yaozu raised his eyebrows and met all the expectations of the Zou family. I can also take better care of my mother and her sister.

Burdened with such heavy expectations, Xu Zheng did not have an easy day.
