The farce in front of the Shuai Mansion, under the thunderous intervention of the old lady, came and went quickly.

Now a group of people have returned to the old lady's Taining Courtyard, and they have sat down one after another in the order of respect and inferiority.

Xiao Jinxuan is the concubine of the fourth room, and this position is naturally arranged on the chair at the bottom of the door.

But this is the last position, and before she can sit down, the old lady speaks.

Seeing that the other party took a sip of tea, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jinxuan, and his sagging eyelids fell.

"Xiao Jinxuan, you kneel down for the old body, do you know that today's events are wrong."

Everyone present, no one expected that the old lady would come up with such a sentence, and Qian Shi, who had changed his clothes and stepped in the door, heard this, and his eyes immediately turned red.

Running in front of the old lady in a few steps, she said aggrievedly: "You always have to be the master of your daughter-in-law, and I am also kind today, I am afraid that Jinxuan will collide with you, I don't want these four young ladies, it is really unlucky, and the embarrassment of the daughter-in-law just now is actually for you to block the disaster." ”

Zhao, who was sitting at the top of the left side, heard this, and glanced at Qian faintly, with a look of disdain on his face.

Obviously she wanted to make it bad, but she turned out to burn herself, and now it seems that she has a lot of money, if she is not burned this time, she will become an old lady if she is unlucky.

Zhao didn't think that Xiao Jinxuan was a disaster, but the Qian family in front of him was the most obedient and pleasing person, and when he was born for a moment, according to her, this Qian family was a disaster spirit, and it was annoying to look at it.

But everyone has always loved to listen to good words, and the old lady is naturally no exception, knowing that Qian's words are coaxing her to be happy, but she still can't help but smile.

"Okay, it's just you, the monkey spirit has a sweet mouth, sit down, what do you do next time, you have to use your brain, if you are doing something insulting to the style of the handsome mansion, the old body will not be able to spare you."

Seeing that the old lady was not pursuing her gaffe before, Qian hurriedly complimented her again, and then happily returned to her position and sat down, waiting to see how the old lady would send Xiao Jinxuan down.

And Xiao Jinxuan, who has been ignored since the Qian family came in, has been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and the old lady doesn't say anything or ignores her, so she can only continue to kneel in a proper manner.

After the old lady finished talking to Qian, she just glanced at her, and then whispered to the aunt who was standing beside her, serving closely:

"Jin Chuan, you go and bring the box of golden oranges rewarded by the emperor and give them all some to eat, now in this solar term, fruits are rare, and the old woman can't hide it."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed softly, and said in unison that the old lady was funny, and the most distressed flattery was for the juniors.

After half a pillar of incense, the oranges were peeled and put on a plate and brought into the house, and in the process, Xiao Jinxuan on the ground seemed to be a transparent person, just kneeling on the ground, no one looked at her, and no one asked her to get up.

It wasn't until the old lady picked up the juicy, peeled crystal clear orange and took a bite that she moved her gaze to Xiao Jinxuan.

Then the voice couldn't hear the joy and anger of the sermon: "Speaking of which, old woman, I, I can eat this golden orange thanks to you Jinxuan, if it weren't for your meritorious work in disaster relief, the saint is overjoyed, how can this orange be rewarded to the Shuai Mansion, so we are full of people, but it is stained with your light." ”

From Xiao Jinxuan kneeling on the ground, to now the old lady eating oranges and speaking, before and after, she has knelt down for a long time.

Compared with Qian's painstaking trouble, the old lady is much simpler and rude, and with the other party's identity pressing, Xiao Jinxuan must also kneel happily and convincingly, and she can't resist at all, fortunately, she has always been in good health, although her knees are numb, but she will not lose her temper.

Now I saw that the old lady had finally spoken, but the tentative meaning in her words was about to come out, so how dare Xiao Jinxuan really follow the other party's words and boast about herself, but kowtowed to the other party's rules.

Then she said in a gentle voice: "Grandmother's words, it really makes the granddaughter panic, the snow disaster, thanks to the father's transfer, the granddaughter only appeared more in front of people, so she took on this false name, if there is no father, the granddaughter will not be able to do anything at all, and the father is so capable, thanks to the grandmother's teaching since childhood, so this golden orange should have been rewarded to the grandmother, how dare the granddaughter be greedy." ”

The calm and relaxed old lady, when she heard this, was surprised for the first time, and looked at Xiao Jinxuan carefully several times.

What kind of life the other party has lived since childhood, when preparing to recruit Xiao Jinxuan to Beijing, the old lady also investigated.

But she really didn't expect that such a child who grew up in a broken Zhuangzi would have such a sweet mouth, and when he spoke, his calm bearing was no worse than that of other young ladies in the house.

Decent conversation and calm demeanor can always win favor, at least the old lady now, when she looks at Xiao Jinxuan, her eyes are much better than just now.

As soon as she raised her hand, the old lady sighed and said: "It's hard for you, a child, at a young age, who knows how to advance and retreat like this, and is not greedy for merit and arrogance, get up and sit down, and you are not afraid of hurting your body if you kneel on the ground for so long." ”

Then she looked angry again, and shaved lightly, next to her sitting, Xiao Jinyu's cheeks as white as mutton fat.

The tone ** said drowningly: "And you girl, grandmother is old, you are also a little confused, why did your sister kneel for so long, and I don't know how to remind the old body, and don't help your sister up." ”

Xiao Jinyu looked at Xiao Jinxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes, but she still stood up with a smile.

After giving a dignified salute to the old lady, she said in a pleasant voice like a nightingale: "Grandmother is right, it's all Yu'er's fault, I'll help my sister up." ”

With that, she left the chair with a graceful gait and walked towards Xiao Jinxuan, her face full of intimacy.

But if someone takes a closer look at her eyes, they will see that in the deepest part of these eyes, a touch of alienation and disgust is slowly brewing, obviously Xiao Jinyu's heart, I'm afraid it is not as like what she shows on her face, she likes to be close to Xiao Jinxuan.

In fact, she doesn't just dislike Xiao Jinxuan, if she can, she can't hate the other party, and never appear in front of her.

Don't look at the letter that recruited Xiao Jinxuan to enter Beijing, it was written by her, in fact, hundreds of people in her heart didn't want the other party to come, and she would write that letter, but in front of the old lady and Xiao Heng, she made a show, reflecting how much she loved and took care of these sisters.

thinks that she Xiao Jinyu is a Jingshi and an immortal, and she has always been among the sisters of the same generation in the Xiao family, who can match her demeanor.

When he learned that Emperor Ming actually said that Xiao Jinxuan was the great Zhou Fuxing, Xiao Jinyu lost sleep for two nights because of this sentence.

She grew up in compliments and envy, so she longed for perfection too much, especially among the sisters, she couldn't stand anyone, surpassing her, no matter what aspect.

But Xiao Jinxuan, the sister she didn't know before, suddenly became the focus of heated discussions in Beijing, and for a long time, everyone only talked about this Great Zhou Fuxing, who still remembered her as a Jingshi immortal.

Just now when she saw the old lady making things difficult for the other party, Xiao Jinyu's face was as usual, in fact, she couldn't be happy in her heart, but now that she saw that this grandmother was going to let the other party go, she couldn't bear it.

Therefore, after seeing her help Xiao Jinxuan up cordially, she said to her coquettishly: "Sister, you are also too naughty, everyone who made trouble when you first came, the handsome mansion is not as good as the family, you are messing around, everything has to be done according to the rules, meritorious work must be rewarded, and if you have it, you must be punished." ”

Then she took Xiao Jinxuan's hand, turned around and smiled like a delicate flower, and asked the old lady, "Grandmother, you said Yu'er, is this right?" ”

Originally, the old lady who saw Xiao Jinxuan so sensible had stopped worrying about the Qian family before, and now she also wanted to take this matter over, and she was not reasoning with Xiao Jinxuan anymore.

But when Xiao Jinyu asked this, looking at her favorite granddaughter, her star-like bright eyes, the old lady smiled, and then changed her mind according to the other party's words.

"Yes, it's still my family Yu'er who knows the most about the general situation, the matter in front of this mansion is too bad, if you don't punish how to serve the public, Yu'er's proposal is good, or you will have to do foolish things."

When Xiao Jinyu heard this, a look of pride flashed in her eyes, and sure enough, her grandmother felt the most sorry for her, and as long as she said it, the other party would not be allowed to do so.

She was happy in her heart, and she didn't forget that she wanted to continue to fall into the well, so that Xiao Jinxuan, who annoyed her, would be better than half a point.

"According to Yu'er, since the third aunt is afraid that the fourth sister is unknown, then let the younger sister go to the grandmother's small Buddha hall to pray for the grandmother's copy of the Diamond Sutra, and with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, the fourth sister will definitely be eliminated even if she is unlucky."

The old lady saw that Xiao Jinyu was thoughtful, and everything was for her sake, and she couldn't be more satisfied, even if she agreed to it all, as for Xiao Jinxuan, no one asked for her opinion.

But for this punishment, Xiao Jinyu is obviously not very satisfied.

Seeing her turn her head, she looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a smile and said: "Sister, in order to show sincerity, my sister heard that kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva and writing scriptures is the most effective, I think the fourth sister will definitely choose this most pious way to pray for her grandmother, right?" ”

Looking at Xiao Jinyu, who was smiling more pure and delicate than the white lotus, who would have thought that under this skin, there was such an ugly heart.

Obviously, today, no one else is pursuing it, but this good sister thinks she is too comfortable, so she has to find a reason to block her.

If she doesn't do it, she is not sincere, she is not sincere in her heart, she is not sincerely praying for the old lady, and she really doesn't leave her any room for it.

Seeing that everyone was looking at herself, Xiao Jinxuan's expression remained unchanged, and she suddenly smiled calmly.

"Sister Chang is right, Jinxuan naturally wants to pray for her grandmother in the most pious way, but Jinxuan's status is humble, and she is afraid that Fu Bo will not be able to move the Bodhisattva, but my sister is different, her identity is precious, and she is the most loved by her grandmother, if my sister is with me, kneel down to write scriptures, my sister believes that the Bodhisattva will be moved, and my sister thinks my proposal is good."

Xiao Jinyu was stunned when she heard this, she wanted this sister to suffer, but she never thought that she would have to suffer with her.

Thinking of her delicate body, kneeling in the cold Buddha hall, hunched over to write scriptures, she already felt uncomfortable.

But now that everyone is here, how can she not say no, otherwise others will say that she is unfilial, for a while Xiao Jinyu was in a dilemma, but she was stumped by her own bad proposal, and she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
