The courtyard in Zhilan was quiet at this time, and the maids came and went lightly, not daring to speak casually, for fear of saying something and annoying the master, so they filled in.

The majestic Aunt Wang was swollen by the grandmother sent by the princess, and she was no longer arrogant, she didn't even dare to cry loudly, she only shrank in her room and cried quietly.

When the prince came back from Ningde Courtyard, he saw that everyone was angry and fell to the ground.

Mrs. Shizi lay on the bed again and sighed.

Only the eldest lady Zhou Baolu looked calm, still took someone to pack her things, and waited for the maid from Ningde Courtyard to invite, saying that the ancestors had passed on dinner, so she took the maid and went to Ningde Courtyard.

As in the past, Jinghe's eldest daughter-in-law Zhang, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Liang, all stood aside to serve, and Liang's daughter Zhou Baojing sat next to Jinghe's eldest princess.

There are only three young ladies in the current princess's mansion, the eldest lady Zhou Baolu and the second lady Zhou Baojing. The third lady Zhou Baoqi was born by Zhou Jilin's concubine Aunt Jin, who was just two years old. This Zhou Baojing is only more than two years old, chubby, round eyes, seeing Zhou Baolu coming in, she hurriedly climbed down the low couch, and greeted with a milky voice: "Hello, big sister." ”

Zhou Baolu asked Jing and the eldest princess to say goodbye, and asked the two aunts and aunts how they were good, and then led Zhou Baojing to sit on the princess's low couch.

Zhang's is the widow of the son in the previous life, the identity of the deceased, although the husband has been dead for a long time, he still wears plain clothes, and he doesn't laugh much on weekdays, but at this time, the corners of his mouth are upturned, and the joy from the bottom of his heart can't be hidden, and he said to Zhou Baolu: "My nephew just came back?" How are you doing? I said I was going to see it, but I was afraid that the second brother and sister were not in good health, and I just came back from a long way, and I was only afraid that I was working hard, and it was getting worse and worse, so I just thought about resting for a day, and I went to see it tomorrow, but it was better. ”

Zhou Baolu knew in her heart that her grandmother had made a decision, although she hadn't said it yet, but Uncle Niang obviously didn't know where to know Lu Dao, so she put her mind at ease, stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Xie is considerate, but isn't that the case, my mother is still resting in bed now." ”

When the eldest princess Jinghe heard this, she ordered: "Pick up two plates of light and restrained dishes from my dishes and send them to Mrs. Shizi." ”

He took Zhou Baolu's hand and said with a smile: "Your mother is at home, you don't run around anymore, and accompany your mother more, I'm afraid that if she likes it in her heart, her body will be better." ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "That's what the ancestor said, when I came back this time, I saw that my mother was better than last time, maybe change the pill to eat?" ”

Liang is the daughter-in-law of the family, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that I sent someone to my mother and pills, and the eldest girl gave me the prescription of the second sister-in-law, and asked them to prepare one more ingredient according to it, isn't it cheap?" ”

Zhou Baolu smiled: "That's the case, thank you aunt." ”

The family was talking happily, without a trace of the troubles in Zhilan Courtyard, Zhou Baolu looked at the face of Jing and the eldest princess several times, and admired her aunt more and more in her heart.

That's a good point! Grandmother was not very angry.

After dinner, Zhang and Liang talked for a while, and then they all dispersed, Zhang is a young widow, very careful about behavior and action, very silent, always in his own room more time, for fear of being active and causing people to talk. And the Liang family was in charge of the affairs of the house, and he was busy for a while at night, so he left Zhou Baolu here.

Zhou Baolu smiled again and looked at the face of the eldest princess Jing He, which was different from her previous opinion, this time, she looked at it one after another, as if she was afraid that Jing and the eldest princess would not know that she was peeking at her face.

The eldest princess deliberately sank her face and snorted.

Zhou Baolu still smiled and walked over, holding the arm of Jinghe and the eldest princess, and did not speak, only put her head on her shoulder, just like when she was a child, she was coquettish and dependent.

Rub it twice.

Jing and the eldest princess are angry and funny, even if it is any other relationship, Jing and the eldest princess are also in love with Zhou Baolu, at this time and the Wu'an Hou Mansion tacitly formed an alliance, Zhou Baolu's status is naturally more different, where is she really angry, and for a while he smiled and reached out to twist her face: "You are still coquettish with me, it is obvious that now you only listen to your uncle, and you don't listen to me!" ”

Zhou Baolu also called out to hit the sky: "The words of the ancestor have wronged me, I am the most filial to the ancestors, even today, I don't have the slightest place to be unfilial, it is nothing more than sending an aunt, it is a matter of later, that is also my father's stubble looking for me, I have no place for disobedience, even if it is ......"

Her big eyes bent up with a smile: "Even if I ran away at that time, that is what the ancients said, small and big go for filial piety, I am thinking about my father, look, a filial girl like me, where to find it in the world." ”

Speaking of which, it is no longer ironic.

The eldest princess Jinghe nodded and said: "What you said is that your father is stupid, you don't need to follow him in everything, our family is not his turn to be the master, today's matter, that is, he has become Lao Tzu, such a big person, save him a little face, otherwise I have to give him two sticks!" It's just that you are also a big girl, although the eldest granddaughter of my princess's mansion has no reason to be bullied, but it is too powerful, and it will hinder your reputation, so you have to be more and more careful in the future. ”

Today's incident, the eldest princess Jinghe knew in her heart that Zhou Baolu was deliberately so powerful, but she was a grandmother, and she had to say that the reputation of the girl's family was the most important, that is, the princess, and she did not raid the house at such a high speed.

Zhou Baolu took advantage of the benefits, of course she would not be strong again, listening to the lessons of Jing and the eldest princess, and nodded obediently: "I know the way, old ancestor." ”

I only listened to Jing and the eldest princess talking, nodding while listening, his mouth was sweet, and his smile was very well-behaved, knowing that Lu Dao had passed this level.

Sure enough, early the next morning, the wife of the Hou Shizi of Wu'an, Zeng, came to see the eldest aunt and grandmother, and Zhou Baolu was sitting in front of the eldest princess, and after hearing the report, she stood up and went to the door to greet Zeng. Zeng's just had his thirtieth birthday, but he looked as delicate as his early twenties, Zhou Baolu and his aunt have always been affectionate, holding her hand with a smile, and whispering a few words, Aunt Zeng nodded with a smile, and went to say goodbye to the eldest princess Jinghe.

There is Zhou Baolu's ventilated message, Wu'an Hou Shizi's wife Zeng knows it very well, and her attitude is calm between her words, and she doesn't mention anything else, it seems that she really just came to see her aunt and grandmother.

Since the eldest princess Jinghe has already made a decision, even if she doesn't like the Chen family's blatant interference in her family's affairs, she will not show her pride, she is a figure who has been rolling in the royal clan for decades, and she has her own ability.

After talking for a while, the eldest princess Jinghe sent the Zeng family to Zhilan Courtyard to see the Chen family, and said with a smile: "She is not in good health, and she can't work hard, and I have told my family not to worry about trivial matters with her.

Zeng stood up, smiled and replied, not saying a word.

Zhou Baolu smiled and said, "I'll wait for my aunt to come over."

didn't wait for anyone to speak, so he took Zeng's past, and along the way, he had time to tell her what happened yesterday in detail, Zeng nodded lightly, and touched Zhou Baolu's head with a smile.

This matter was personally ordered by Chen Xihua, and the Zeng family brought up Zhou Baolu single-handedly, and Chen Xihua also understood this niece's daughter and told her personally.

It's just that Zeng's is not at ease, in the end, the twelve-year-old girl, in the face of adults, is such an important matter, I am afraid that she will not be able to do it, and she has repeatedly instructed, at this time it seems to be stronger than she expected.

The beginning and end of this matter Zeng is naturally clearer than Zhou Baolu, and it is not slow to get the news, Zhou Baolu's actions, although it was taught by Zeng on the festival, but her clever words and decisive actions made Zeng impressed.

Zeng only secretly thought: Although the aunt's wife is like that, this daughter is ten times stronger than her mother.

Today's Zhilan Courtyard is less Aunt Wang's movement, it seems quieter than usual, Chen's crooked on the kang, seeing his younger siblings coming, he sat up busily, and wanted to get off the kang, but was stopped by Zeng's, Zeng's smiled and asked his sister to be safe, and he also sat down by the kang, and Chen's was busy calling people to serve tea and snacks.

Zhou Baolu had already ordered the maid, and Zhou Baolu personally brought a plate of huge round and bright yellow oranges over: "Uncle and aunt taste this fruit, this is specially sent to our yard when my mother's Zhuangzi delivered vegetables today, I eat it tastes good, but it is not as fresh as the garden on my aunt's side." ”

While smiling and groaning, he asked his grandfather, uncle, and younger brothers and sisters at home, and couldn't wait to ask: "Is the little fish, bird, and deer I raised good, and Brother An wants to feed me for me." ”

Zeng touched her head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Naturally, it's good, Brother An'er has responded, and naturally can do it for you, you just have to rest assured." ”

Zhou Baolu smiled and nodded: "Hmm!" ”

She has an extremely close relationship with Zeng's family, when Zeng's married into the Chen family, Chen's just gave birth to Zhou Baolu in the Zhou family, less than a year later, Chen's miscarriage, and his body became more and more bad, Zeng's went to Zhou's house to see his aunt and grandmother, only went around the yard, then frowned, and went straight to see Jinghe eldest princess, I don't know what to say, said that Jinghe eldest princess, and took Zhou Baolu, who was teething, to Wu'an Houfu for two months.

At that time, the Zeng family was still a new daughter-in-law and had no heirs.

Since then, Chen's health has been bad, the spirit is not good, there are more days of recuperation outside, Zhou Baolu has more days of temporary residence in Wu'an Houfu, after a year, Zeng's pregnancy, ten months later gave birth to the eldest son Chen Yi'an, and later gave birth to the second son Chen Yiqing, there has been no daughter for many years, until the beginning of last year, finally gave birth to a daughter Chen Yixian, Zeng's niece who brought up a hand, as a daughter, Zhou Baolu and her feelings, about deeper than Chen's feelings.

Zeng asked some more about Chen's daily life outside, what kind of doctor he is looking at, what medicine he takes, how many times can he sleep a day, Zhou Baolu occasionally interjected, Chen blamed her for being unstable: "You are a big girl, the rules and principles are becoming more and more important, the elders speak, no one asks you, how can you talk at will, let others see it, how unstable." ”

Zhou Baolu pouted: "Auntie, where is there someone else, there are really others, I don't bother to say anything when I beg me to speak." ”

Chen said to Zeng: "Brother and sister, look at it, such a young lady who doesn't understand the rules, where is she a guest, where have you seen it!" ”

Zeng said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is too worried, when she is a guest outside, the young lady of the family must be polite when she sees us, but in private, when she is happy under the knees of the elders, what is it like, we don't know what it looks like, don't we?" It's Sister Lu, when she sees a guest, her words and actions are different from this, and she naturally knows etiquette, which is the etiquette of children. ”

Zhou Baolu nodded again and again, her aunt spoke transparently, and she had the most appetite for her.

Chen didn't think so, he was just worried about her, and felt that there were some things that were difficult to say in front of Zhou Baolu, so he said: "It's rare for your aunt to come to our house, you have to leave her to eat, you go to the kitchen to take a look, and tell them to cook a few dishes that your aunt and mother love to eat." ”

Zhou Baolu said with a smile: "What my mother said is that I know the taste of my aunt, so I will tell them." ”

A lively cigarette walked away.
