Zhu Tang was guarding at the main gate, but after half an hour, he asked Chen to hold Mangyu's hand and hurriedly walked over, Xiaoting followed behind, and nodded when he saw Zhu Tang.

Zhu Tang glanced back, and greeted him by himself: "The slave maid asked Mrs. to say goodbye, the slave maid really couldn't persuade the eldest lady, so she quietly sent someone to alarm the lady, the young lady is a delicate body, but she is a stubborn person, this is ...... How good is that......"

As he spoke, his eyes were red.

Chen's heart tightened, nodded indiscriminately, and followed in, and as soon as he walked up the steps, he heard a maid in the room crying and saying, "Miss, don't copy it, it's better to rest, your body is important." ”

Then Zhou Baolu said resolutely: "Mother's body is the most important, don't worry about it, pour me another cup of strong tea to drink." ”

Chen suddenly burst into tears, and her delicate body suddenly gained strength, and she shook off the two maids who were supporting her and stepped into the door in a few steps: "Lu'er! ”

Zhou Baolu Huo Ran turned his head, looked at Chen with a surprised expression, and then hurriedly stood up and said: "Why did my mother come so early, you are not in good health, why don't you rest for a while, you just can't sleep, and it's good to nourish your mind." ”

Chen looked around and saw a messy house, big butter candles were still burning, there were a few bowls of strong tea on the tea table next to the wall, and a few scrapped copies fell on the ground, and on the table under the window there was a stack of Buddhist scriptures copied high, and there was a few lines copied in front of Zhou Baolu, the handwriting was very neat, how could there be a trace of fatigue that had stayed up all night.

A few maids stood in the corner, all looking like they were about to cry.

And his daughter, who is like a flower, has a gray face, a circle of black marks under the big eyes of the original elf, and the petal-like delicate lips have also faded to the color of red, and they are a little chapped. ”

Immediately cried a lot.

Zhou Baolu was busy persuading, and wiped her mother's tears with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not tired, I just want to finish copying it one day sooner, and my mother will get better one day sooner. ”

Chen's heart ached more and more when he listened, and he instructed the maid: "Come and serve your young lady to sleep and rest, and ask the kitchen to boil ginseng soup!" ”

Zhou Baolu stopped the maids and said with a smile: "Mother, it really doesn't matter, it's important that my mother's body can be good, now I have a hope, how can I rest, I just hope that I will finish copying it earlier, and my mother will get better sooner, just fine!" ”

Chen also persuaded Zhou Baolu to live or die, although he looked tired, he was full of excitement and said: "Mother, you don't know what to do, I dream that my mother will get better soon, as long as my mother is well, I can do anything, I don't have any brothers and sisters, and my father doesn't love me, if I don't have my mother, what will Lu'er do in the future." ”

The twelve-year-old little daughter was so happy and expectant, the twisted Chen family was a mother's heartache, for a while, other people's words were not so important, no matter how reckless the daughter was, no matter how bad it was, it was also her own good daughter, and there was nothing more precious and important in the world than this daughter.

Chen cried and said: "Don't copy it, Lu'er, don't copy it, it's not good for your mother, and your mother shouldn't coax you to ......."

Zhou Baolu said with a strange expression: "What's wrong?" Isn't it said that there is a Bodhisattva who gave his mother a dream to copy Buddhist scriptures? What my mother said, I don't understand. ”

Only then did Chen tell Zhou Baolu what Mrs. Wu'anhou and her two stepsisters had heard before, and Zhou Baolu stumbled and said: "Alas, how can my mother listen to them, what kind can those people be!" Just looking at the things that my grandmother did to my uncle and aunt Ange'er, I also know that Lu Dao will not do anything good to my mother, my mother is my uncle's own sister! ”

Chen also wanted to defend: "Although your grandmother is like that, but I am married outside, and I don't fight with her for anything, what does she have to harm me, but, Lu'er, you are a big girl, you always have to be chaste and quiet, and I am also very worried." ”

Zhou Baolu said: "If it's nothing, why does Aunt Seventh want to teach you to come back and coax me, if it's a good thing, can't you say it openly?" Those people, who are childish, are sneaky in everything they do, and they don't dare to say it to their faces! Mother still believes in them! Aunt Seven still said that I was not good, what was her family like? I can't manage my own family, and now it's not the one who picks me! What is there to do in the fourth aunt's house? ”

The fourth aunt and grandmother of the Chen family are married to the family of Changguo, but it is the young house of the old prince, and there is also a title on the body, and there is also the blood of the famous son who can't give birth to a son, the fourth aunt and grandmother gave birth to three daughters, and the three aunts gave birth to five daughters, I heard that an aunt is pregnant again, if a son is born, Chen Si will not go back to his parents' house to cry?

Thinking of her, Zhou Baolu suddenly remembered that Miss Gu San was here, and she didn't know if she didn't calculate to become Huang Gongzi, and she didn't find the wronged leader.

If I can't find it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it.

Chen didn't say anything, just cried, and just asked Zhou Baolu to go to bed and rest.

Zhou Baolu sighed, turned back to Zhu Tang and said, "You go to the ancestor and say, I slept late yesterday, and the wind blew again, I have a slight headache today, I want to sleep a little more, and I will go to the ancestor to say goodbye when I get better." ”

Zhu Tang hurriedly responded.

Sakura and Zhou Baolu's other two big girls, Cuckoo Peony, served Zhou Baolu to wash her face again, slept on the bed, and served Chen's face washing.

Chen sat at the head of the bed and took Zhou Baolu's hand: "My son, my mother guards you." ”

Zhou Baolu is really a little powerless to her mother, she is confused and weak on weekdays, her ears are the softest, others only need to speak tactfully, some strategies, she feels that everything makes sense, she has no opinions at all, if there is anything wrong, she is panicked.

Like this one!

It's true that her mother loves her, but in this way, Zhou Baolu didn't know what to say, so she had to say: "Mother, you are the only one I am closest to in this world, naturally I am also the closest to my mother, and the second is my uncle and aunt." Other people, who are closest to them, have nothing to do with us based on what they say. ”

Chen just nodded: "My son, what you said is that my mother will never listen to them in the future." ”

This kind of thing, not to mention how many times Chen Xihua and Zeng have heard it, now even Zhou Baolu doesn't believe it.

But what could she do?

When Zhou Baolu sleeps for a while and gets up, this matter will end without a problem.

Chen was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, and he indulged her more and more in the past few days, and he could do whatever she liked, and Zhou Jilin didn't know why, he often didn't come back for two or three days, even if he came back, it was also very late, and he didn't go into the back yard much, but only rested in the study.

Aunt Wang was slapped in the mouth, and saw that the prince position she was about to get was flying again, and her dream of being an old feudal monarch was also broken. The son was led by the princess again, I heard that it was only ten days of hard work, and he was beaten a few times by the discipline mother beside the princess, Aunt Wang was wronged, resentful and sad when Zhou Jilin didn't even show his face, and it was easy to catch it once, so he cried at the beginning, Zhou Jilin became impatient, raised his legs and left.

Aunt Wang became more and more resentful, and there was no other way, only to throw things in her yard and beat the maid, and before dinner, she began to comb her eyebrows, wear bright clothes, and sent the maid three or five times to inquire in front to see if the prince had returned.

I just look at it every day, but I am disappointed every day.

I couldn't help but throw myself on the bed and cry again.

Zhou Baolu doesn't take Aunt Wang as a serious person, but the movements are clear, whether it is her maid or Chen's maid in this house, Zhou Baolu can be counted as a word, it is the maid made by Aunt Wang, she is just an aunt, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, what kind of grace and power can be given? Let Zhou Baolu make such a fuss, everyone saw that Aunt Wang was beaten by the eldest lady, and she fainted crying in front of the prince, and she didn't find the field to say anything, and when she turned around, she asked the princess to send someone to beat her mouth, who wouldn't weigh it twice in her heart? Naturally, acting and speaking will be different from what it used to be.

Zhou Baolu doesn't care what Zhou Jilin is doing outside, but Aunt Wang is scratching her heart and wants to know that she is Zhou Jilin's pillow person, so she is naturally much more sensitive, and she is a concubine, how can she talk to the eldest lady on the same day?

Zhou Baolu doesn't even care if Zhou Jilin likes her daughter or not, her status as the eldest daughter is there, her grandmother is favored, her uncle is strong, what is there to care about, but if Aunt Wang is without Zhou Jilin's favor, her status is different, how can she not be anxious?

Aunt Wang has heard the news that has passed Zhou Baolu's hands first, but what can Aunt Wang inquire about? It's just trivial, and Zhou Baolu doesn't bother to look at it.

But now this quiet day is good, and it goes by quickly, it won't take long to enter the wax moon, Chen rarely stays in the Guogong Mansion in winter, this year it was because Zhou Anhua was recorded in his name, and the eldest princess Jing and the eldest princess took her back, although the thing was not done, but it was about to be the New Year, so she stayed.

It's just that she is weak, and she doesn't dare to go out on weekdays, and there is a dragon burning in the house, so Chen will not easily take a step out of the room.

However, Zhou Baolu stayed at home, and went to Ningde Courtyard every day to talk to the eldest princess Jinghe, she didn't love female red embroidery, and she had a lot of idle time, plus there were not many times at home all year round, and she wanted to accompany her grandmother when she had free time, and she sat and talked for a while.

At this time, Zhou Baolu just walked to the gate of the courtyard, but saw that there were seven or eight little girls in red and green in the courtyard of Ningde Courtyard that she didn't recognize, and she saw that there were guests coming.

The big girls and grandmothers brought by the ladies and grandmothers who are guests often follow up to serve, and no matter how bad they are, they also lead to the side of the ear room to drink tea, in the end there is a warm place, only with the sedan chair, the little girls holding things, will stay in the yard, ready to pass the word.

Zhou Baolu saw that the seven or eight little girls who came from outside were waiting under the porch even a few little girls in their own house, it was snowing early this morning, and it was colder than ever, these little girls were only wearing thin jackets, and their faces were blue and white, they were only ten years old, and they looked really pitiful, Zhou Baolu said to the grandmother of Ningde Academy: "Isn't there a brazier in every ear room here?" Open a room where no one is around, take one out, put it on the corner over there, and tell these little girls to bake it, horizontally and vertically under the window, so that people can hear it, and look at them freezing like this, it's pitiful. ”

When a grandmother surnamed Chang heard this, she smiled and said, "It's still the eldest lady who is kind-hearted, and we look at them pitifully, but we don't dare to call the shots." ”

As he spoke, he asked someone to take the key and open the ear room to carry the brazier out, and the maids came over and kowtowed smartly, even if they were not smart, they all did the same, kowtowed, and hurried over and smiled: "How dare you ask Mama to do it for us." ”

He went in and carried the brazier.
