－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The person who is really wronged has always been you.

A short sentence made Xu Zheng, who had always been strong, tremble all over, and a sour and unspeakable taste passed through his heart.

Xu Jinyu stared at her brother, and her voice became softer and softer: "Big brother, don't push yourself too hard." You have been gifted since you were a child, and you have been studying with your father, and in the past three years, you have worshiped the most famous Confucianism in Lin'an City as your teacher, and you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. The only concern is that the current text is not incisive and sophisticated. Now that I have arrived in the capital, there is still more than half a year to get to Qiuqiu. This is a long time, enough time for you to revise and prepare. I believe that you will definitely be able to take the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Looking at the distress and pity in Xu Jinyu's eyes, Xu Zheng's heart warmed: "Sister, my goal has never been to take the Mid-Autumn Festival. What I want is the first name of Qiu Yuan! ”

When the last few words were spoken, the confidence and arrogance of the teenager came spontaneously.

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, her dark eyes flashed with a wise and playful look: "Of course." My father was handsome and unparalleled in his literary style, and he was personally named Tanhualang by the emperor. The eldest brother is better than the blue, first in the autumn exam for the first place Xie Yuan, to next year's spring and palace examinations, and then take the first class to come back. When the time comes, my mother and I will be able to touch the light of the great champion. ”

Xu Zheng was amused and laughed dumbly, and his originally depressed mood was also a lot easier: "Okay, when I get the top prize, I must open my eyes wide and pick a wishful sister-in-law." ”

Sister-in-law

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly, then blushed shyly, and stomped her feet coquettishly: "Big brother! ”

Xu Zheng laughed.

"What are you two brothers and sisters talking about, smiling so happily?" Zou walked in with the decanting soup and asked with a smile, "I heard the laughter of the two of you from afar." ”

Without waiting for Xu Zheng to open his mouth, Xu Jinyu took over the conversation with a smile: "Big brother is talking to me about going to the poetry club today!" ”

Xu Zheng subconsciously glanced at Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu quietly returned her eyes. It's just a matter of saying things like partiality in private, and it's better to keep silent in front of the Zou family, so as not to hurt the Zou family's heart.

The two brothers and sisters have always had a tacit understanding, Xu Zheng immediately came to his senses, and followed Xu Jinyu's voice and said: "Yes, I was talking to my sister about the poetry meeting just now, and my mother also came over to listen to it." ”

Zou said: "It's so late, it's not too late to say anything tomorrow." Hurry up and drink the sobering soup, and go back to the house to read a book early! ”

I knew that Zou would react like this!

Xu Zheng quickly exchanged a helpless smile with Xu Jinyu, took the hot and heavy decanting soup, drank it, and went back to the house to read

When Xu Zheng reads at night, he doesn't need to be served by anyone, but reading consumes physical and mental energy, and supper is indispensable.

When he was in Lin'an, the supper was cooked by Zou himself, and he never pretended to others. Now that I'm in the Hou Mansion, there is not even a kitchen in this Yin Yan Pavilion. I want to prepare a supper for Xu Zheng, and I have to work hard in the kitchen

Zou thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and unconsciously wrinkled his brows.

It hurts her eyes to do embroidery work at night, so Xu Jinyu took a travelogue book to pass the time. Occasionally, when I looked up, I saw Zou's tightly knit brow.

The things that can make the Zou family sad are all about their brother.

Xu Jinyu thought about it for a while, and then guessed what Zou was thinking: "Mother, are you worried about your eldest brother's supper?" ”

Zou nodded and sighed, "Yes, I've been thinking about what to do. Your eldest brother reads until midnight every night, and he has to sleep on an empty stomach without supper, which hurts his body too much. I was too embarrassed to tell your aunt to let the kitchen prepare an extra supper. ”

Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed slightly, and she said with a smile: "It's better to set up a small kitchen in Yinyan Pavilion, and it's convenient to make some snacks or supper at any time." ”

Zou hesitated slightly: "With a small kitchen, you have to have a cook, firewood, rice, oil, salt, stoves, rice, noodles, fish, vegetables, and so on." Once you open your mouth with such a request, it will really make your aunt embarrassed! It's better to have the kitchen deliver a supper every day. ”

"The supper made in the big kitchen, where can I match my mother's craftsmanship." Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "The eldest brother has long been used to the supper made by his mother, and what others make is definitely not to his liking." ”

As soon as Xu Zheng was involved, Zou began to waver, and said hesitantly: "Of course it is convenient to have a small kitchen, but it is too troublesome for your aunt." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "What's the trouble." There is a small kitchen in the pavilion, and all the expenses are paid by ourselves. We send people out to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt and all kinds of ingredients that we need every day. We don't have much to do every day. It doesn't take much effort to work in a small kitchen. ”

Zou was moved by what he said.

Xu Jinyu smiled again: "I know that my mother is thin-skinned, and I am embarrassed to tell my aunt." I came up with the idea, and I will talk to my aunt tomorrow. ”

When did this girl become so eloquent?

Zou Shi smiled, and simply nodded in response: "Okay, this matter will be left to you." ”

Xu Jinyu persuaded Zou and pursed her lips and smiled.

She tried her best to encourage the Zou family to set up a small kitchen, of course, not just for Xu Zheng's supper.

The most important reason why Xiao Zou "fell in love" with her back then was because she was gentle and supple. Now that she is completely different from her previous life, Xiao Zou should not move her mind on her again!

The next morning, after the mother and son finished breakfast, they went to Tinglan Courtyard.

Xiao Zou's makeup is a little thicker than usual.

Xu Jinyu glanced at Xiao Zou quietly. Gu Caiping lived in Qianyun yesterday, and Xiao Zou probably tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep all night. That's why I covered it up with heavy makeup today.

Xiao Zou asked Xu Zheng kindly: "Are you still used to living in the Yinyan Pavilion in the past two days?" ”

Xu Zheng replied with a smile: "It's all good, thank you aunt for your concern." ”

"Just get used to it." Xiao Zou said with a smile: "There is more than half a year to go, and in addition to reviewing books, you also have to go out to participate in the poetry club and literary meeting more often." Ji Hao in the second room is about the same age as you, and he is diligent in studying on weekdays. You might as well associate with him more. When the prince returns home, I will ask the prince to lead you to visit the most famous Confucian in the capital, and you will prepare more for the time you practice on weekdays, and ask someone to give you some advice, which will definitely be beneficial. ”

Xu Zheng hurriedly got up and thanked him: "Aunt Lao bothered." ”

Xiao Zou replied with a smile: "You are my nephew, my aunt is looking forward to your well, and it is also appropriate to put some effort into it." ”

Wolf in sheep’s clothing! Xu Jinyu secretly sneered.

It's no wonder that Xiao Zou has such a good heart. She clearly expected that Xu Zheng was not in the pool, and deliberately gave grace to Xu Zheng at this time, in order to use it in the future.

Zou and Xu Zheng didn't know Xiao Zou's intentions at this time, and they were both very grateful to Xiao Zou in their hearts.

Xiao Zou looked at the gratitude in the eyes of Zou's mother and son, and was secretly proud in his heart, and said to Zou with a pleasant face: "Sister, if you have anything you are not used to, just talk to me." Master Hou is not in the house, and I can always make up my mind about the affairs of the inner house. ”

There was a bit of pride in the words.

Zou squeezed out an apologetic smile: "Speaking of which, it's really embarrassing."

"We want to set up a small kitchen in the Yin Yan Pavilion," Xu Jinyu took over with a smile: "With a small kitchen, you can make some snacks for supper at any time, and it is convenient to boil hot water, so as not to always disturb the people in the big kitchen." ”

Kitchenette?

Xiao Zou frowned invisibly, and then smiled: "It's not difficult to set up a small kitchen alone, but now that you live in the Hou Mansion, if you set up a small kitchen, wouldn't it make people think that I, as an aunt, are not taking good care of me?" In my opinion, there is no need for a kitchenette. I'll have someone call the kitchen steward later, so that she can pay more attention to the food in Yinyan Pavilion. If she dares to slacken, I will punish her severely. ”

Speaking of which, it would be too uninteresting to insist on any small kitchen.

Zou Shi glanced at Xu Jinyu again and again.

Xu Jinyu just didn't see it, and continued with a smile: "We came to Bianliang to join our aunt, we have already caused so much trouble to my aunt, why are we embarrassed to let my aunt bother again." It's better to have a small kitchen, and all the utensils and daily ingredients needed in the small kitchen are bought by our own money. The eldest brother is busy with reading, and he doesn't have the time and energy to ask about these trivial things. However, my mother and I have nothing to do, and it is not interesting to be idle all day. Busy with a small kitchen, just to pass the time. ”

Feelings come prepared!

Where to ask for her opinion, it is clearly just to inform her.

Xiao Zou's smile was slightly stiff: "It's okay, then set up a small kitchen." The stove ingredients are all in the Hou Mansion, just let the next person prepare them, and you don't need to go out and buy them. ”

"How can this work," Xu Jinyu smiled like a flower, her voice was not slow, warm and soft, and pleasant: "We brought a lot of silver before we came to Bianliang, which is enough for us to spend on weekdays, how can we let my aunt break the bank again and again." Let's pay for it ourselves! In this way, the broken mouth of the subordinates will not gossip behind their backs. Auntie, do you say? ”

What a sharp-toothed and flexible Xu Jinyu! The sentences are so thoughtful that people can't pick out the thorns if they want to.

Xu Jinyu is often mentioned in the letters sent by Zou every year, and they are all gentle and obedient. Xu Jinyu two days ago also met Xiao Zou's imagination.

It was only at this moment that Xu Jinyu showed her edge.

Xiao Zou was very unhappy in his heart, and his face couldn't help revealing a point or two, and he smiled lightly: "Since you are so insistent, then follow your heart." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled slightly: "Thank you aunt first." ”
