Zhao Xiu could feel that there seemed to be a little difference between her and Gao Zhen, but if she wanted her to say, she couldn't say what the difference was.

They still get along as before, meeting and laughing in front of King Guangping and Zhang every day, and they will also practice calligraphy and painting in their respective cabins. Zhao Xiu would still ask Gao Zhen for advice on books or calligraphy and painting, and Gao Zhen would bring her some delicate snacks and gadgets every day. When they are separated from their elders and get along in the room, there will always be girls waiting around them, either willow green, or smoke and rain, in short, it will not be the two of them alone.

But Zhao Xiu always felt in her heart that her mood when she looked at Gao Zhen was different. She began to look forward to seeing him every day, and if she couldn't see him one day, or for some reason, she couldn't help but sigh and be depressed. If he was on deck, she couldn't help but open the window to peek. Gao Zhen sent snacks and gadgets, obviously she thought there was nothing unusual, but because he sent them, it was his heart, and he specially looked for her, she felt that it was really delicious in the world, and she was reluctant to eat it all at once, so she had to stay and reminisce slowly.

She knew in her heart that she probably really took this teenager to heart. But is this science? She has been a human being for two lives, and her psychological age is much older than Gao Zhen, and the old cow eating tender grass is really a bit shameful to say. Could it be that because she has been a child for a long time, she regards herself as a real child? But if she wants to continue to maintain the mentality of an adult, she feels that it is not good, at least it will not be good for her future life. The age of her shell is placed here, even if she is in her thirties psychologically, can she really marry an old man in his thirties? The thought of blindly marrying a strange man in the future made her feel furious. In contrast, Gao Zhen is really an excellent choice.

Even if she is an old cow and eats tender grass, since other people are willing to have tender grass, what else is she pretentious about?

Zhao Xiu made up his mind in his heart, as if he had figured it out, and the past entanglements and hesitations could be put aside. The only thing she needs to worry about now is how to settle the matter between her and Gao Zhen. The ancients did not want to fall in love freely. Since she has fallen in love with Gao Zhen's young man, she has to think about the relationship between the two, otherwise Gao Zhen married another girl, wouldn't she vomit to death?

It's just that...... How do you talk about this kind of thing? She was embarrassed to say. No matter how old the mind is. She is also a girl and more reserved.

Zhao Xiu secretly looked at Gao Zhen, thinking that if he could take the initiative to speak, it would be better. He said before that he liked her and wanted to marry her. Since he has this heart. Then do it. She will be thirteen years old in the New Year, which is almost the age when she should say goodbye. If he doesn't say it, what will he do if the Zhang clan chooses someone for her? She shouldn't marry someone else!

Gao Zhen could sense that Zhao Xiu was peeking at him, and after seeing him, she would blush, but she thought he hadn't found out. His heart was sweet and bubbling, but he was afraid that he would show too many traces for others to see. will talk about his gossip with Zhao Xiu, so he can endure himself, still pretending to be serious, and go to tell Zhao Xiu some calligraphy and painting brushwork. In fact, whether it is him or Zhao Xiu, his mind is no longer on these things.

The two children spent a morning in the cabin in a state of distraction, and it seemed that they had done a lot of things, and painted two or three paintings, but in fact, as long as they looked at the quality of the paintings, they knew that their half day had been in vain. Gao Zhen went downstairs to accompany King Guangping to lunch. Zhao Xiu was able to take the time to check the results of this morning, and then his face turned red - blushing. Those paintings can't even compare to half of her skills when she was ten years old, what did she draw in front of an insider like Gao Zhen?!

She quickly destroyed the paintings, then pulled out new paper. I started to think that this was not going to work. Although people who are in a relationship don't usually do anything serious when dating, they are not dating! It's too depraved to waste your time like this. If they can achieve positive results in the future, then there is time to be together, so let's do something serious now.

In the afternoon, Gao Zhen was as usual. He sent Yan Yu to ask her to go down and read to the king of Quang Binh—in fact, for two quarters of an hour to half an hour, and then the king of Guangping would say, "You young people speak for yourselves." "It's like this almost every day. Zhao Xiu knew what was going on, and after going to read to King Guangping for a while, he reluctantly refused Gao Zhen's invitation and found an excuse to go back to the second floor to practice calligraphy.

When Zhao Wei came to dinner in the evening, he quietly asked his sister: "What did you say to the prince today?" I saw how listless he looked for the rest of the day. ”

Zhao Xiu's face flushed slightly, and he replied calmly: "Didn't you say anything?" I went to read to the prince for a while in the afternoon, and then I came back, and I never spoke to the prince. ”

Zhao Wei understood in his heart, this is the reason why Gao Zhen is listless, right? But he didn't say much, Gao Zhen wanted to hook up with his sister all day long, but he was not happy in his heart.

He immediately changed the topic: "I have already thought about what my sister told me yesterday, and I asked my grandmother about what other relatives the Mi family has." My sister's method is still good, but the Mi family is far away, and there has been no contact over the years, and I have to inquire carefully to know if there is anything that can be made. ”

Zhao Xiu suddenly perked up: "What did grandmother say?" Does my mother have any other uncles? ”

Mi's mother's family is also from Jiangnan, and his ancestral home is in Guangdezhou. Her grandfather was a fourth-grade official, and there was a sixth-rank official among her brothers, and she could be called a family with a head and a face in Guangde. However, their family is not very large, and there are not many heirs, and I heard that the ancestor also moved from other places, so he had already separated from his family and cut off contact. And Guangde's branch, at the beginning, was born by a father with three sons, and then the three people multiplied separately, and in the past 100 years, it has only developed into a small family of less than 100 people. But in this small family, there are still a few reading seeds, and there are people in each generation who have made a scholarly appearance, so the family has a very good reputation, and it is also a scholarly family in Guangde.

Mi's grandfather's generation had two brothers, both of whom studied for the imperial examination, the elder brother made four grades, and the younger brother made six grades, which can be described as infinitely beautiful. Mi's grandfather was an official in Songjiang and took his family to office, so Mrs. Mi met the young Zhang and took care of her. Zhang was moved by the heart, and later advocated marrying Mi for his only son. Mi's grandfather had two sons, Mi's father, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu's brother and sister's maternal grandfather, was the eldest son, and the other concubine died young, so there is no need to mention it. Michael's father had only one son. It's Uncle Mi. Mi's branch, the heirs are thin, except for Uncle Mi, I really can't find any other uncle.

But the one of the Michael's uncles. But the heirs were quite prosperous. Zhang told her grandson that when she met Mrs. Mi when she was young, she had heard that Mi's uncle and grandfather had given birth to four sons in one go. And all of them are grandchildren. During Mrs. Mi's tenure in Songjiang, she had to prepare gifts almost every month, including He Shengzi, He Kaimeng, and He Xue, and each time the gifts were different, and the value was equal, but it took a lot of thought. If all four sons survive, each will have children. Decades have passed, and this family has probably become an amazing family.

Zhao Xiu's eyes widened when he heard this: "In this way, on the side of my mother, uncle and grandfather, there should be many candidates to consider?" I just don't know what their situation is now? ”

Zhao Wei is not clear about this, and even Zhang's is not clear. Because when she decided on Zhao Zhuo's marriage with Mi, the only people she dealt with were Mi's father and stepmother. The Zhang family also asked about the situation of the other clansmen of the Mi family, but Mi's stepmother, Mrs. Mi, was vague, and only said that they were their own officials and had not been in touch for a long time. I don't know what's going on. Later, Mi told the truth after passing through the door - after her grandmother died, she had a dislike with her clan because of her stepmother's words and deeds at the funeral, and she recovered after her father's Ding Worry period expired. At the instigation of his stepmother, he broke off contact with his clansmen. They had been in office with Mi's father, and they didn't live with the clansmen, so they never contacted each other again. Even when the Mi family got married, their family did not notify the clan. I'm afraid the people don't know yet.

Zhao Xiu hurriedly said: "If the people of the Mi clan don't know that their mother married into the Jiannan Hou Mansion, then if something happened to our family back then, they naturally wouldn't have thought of coming to see us?" ”

Zhao Wei nodded: "That's right." Speaking of which, there is also the responsibility of Mrs. Mi and Uncle Mi. It is probably because they have a bad relationship with the clansmen, so after the death of Master Mi, they would rather go to the capital to join the Mi family, a foreign daughter who has a bad relationship, than go back to their hometown to live with the clansmen. I don't know what their purpose is, at this point, they still haven't contacted the clansmen, probably because they are worried that if the Mi family has other mother's family to rely on, they will no longer seek officials for Uncle Mi? Anyway, in Zhao Wei's memory, there was only Uncle Mi, a cousin, and the other Mi clansmen had never appeared in front of him. Mi Shi vaguely mentioned one or two people, and in the past, when Mrs. Mi was still alive, she was quite close. But Zhao Wei was young at the time and couldn't remember it clearly.

Zhao Xiu finally realized how troublesome things were. Even if there are one or two people in the Mi clan who can be created, they have not been in touch for decades, and their blood relationship is far away, even if they find it, they don't know what the other party's situation is, and whether they are willing to deal with the Jiannan Hou Mansion. What's even more troublesome is that because I don't know the current situation of the other party, if someone is working as an official in another place, they don't know how to find it.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help sighing, but Zhao Wei was very calm: "Everything is difficult from the beginning, as long as you do it, there will always be a day when you can do it." We don't lack people, money, or places to inquire now, so we just need to find it slowly, and we don't have to rush it. ”

Zhao Xiu said: "I'm not in a hurry, but I'm afraid that my uncle's side won't be honest for long, and something will happen again." When the time comes, we will have to think of a way to suppress him and put his family under our noses to watch, so as to save him from making trouble again. When we visit the whereabouts of the other Mi clansmen, if any of them are promising, we will help, and we will save outsiders from talking about the surname Mi, so they will shake their heads, as if our mother's maiden family is so unbearable. If there is no interest among them, then you have to get a few people to come to the capital and let them restrain the uncle. Now the local clan is still very powerful, and the uncle dares to make trouble, so he asks the clan to come forward to suppress him, he wants to disobey the clan, and others will only say that he is wrong. We don't get our hands dirty, so we save a lot of trouble. ”

Zhao Wei smiled when he heard it: "This idea is good, then it's up to you." (To be continued.) )
