Chufu Yushi Courtyard.

Knowing that Chu Jingting was shining at the chrysanthemum banquet, this was something that Zheng and Wushuang did not expect.

Although the Zheng family and Wushuang had always paid attention to the Hu family mother and daughter, they didn't expect that Chu Jingting would have such great ability.

But that's not a bad thing for them.

Chu Jingting is a daughter, and she will not be an obstacle to Wushuang's snatching of family property in the future, on the contrary, if she grasps it properly, it is very likely to become Wushuang's motivation in the future.

In the past few days, Zhou Jingya has used all her tricks to leave Chu Changjian in her room.

This is in the backyard, although the other concubines and aunts don't say it, Zheng can feel it, and many of them are smiling when they look at themselves.

This laugh is the most touching thing, but there is sarcasm hidden in the laughter of these people.

For these, Zheng naturally didn't pay much attention to it. I still go to serve the old lady Chu every day, people are old and young, and the Zheng family goes to serve the old lady every day when the sky is still bright.

The more Mrs. Chu looked at this Zheng family, the more she liked it.

If they simply like Chu Changjian and want to compete for Chu Changjian's favor, they may make Zheng feel uncomfortable by doing this.

But what Zheng was thinking about was not these feelings and love, but the entire Chu family, and she naturally didn't care about these.

"Mother, Jingya really has some means this week, Chu Changjian already disliked her so much, she was able to leave Chu Changjian in her room for several days."

Zheng took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly.

"What's this, which housewife in the mansion doesn't know how to do it. If Zhou Jingya didn't have the ability, in the past ten years, when Chu Changjian came to the backyard, most of them were in her room. Of course, there are one reason for her identity, but she also has some means. ”

"This Zhou Jingya is not like her son, who doesn't learn and has no skills. Zhou Jingya is a difficult person to deal with. ”

"Shuang'er, you don't have to worry about that. Today, Zhou Jingya took Chu Wentao and Chu Jingting to the chrysanthemum banquet, which was forced by the old lady. I didn't expect that Chu Jingting was so well educated by the Hu family, just went to a chrysanthemum banquet, and just tried her talent once, and won such a good prize. ”

"I didn't expect that I hadn't had contact with Chu Jingting before, but now it seems that it is necessary to get in touch. That's right, mother. I went to say hello to the old lady today, and the old lady said that Jing Ting was still under the guidance of Mrs. Pang and became friends with the other four young ladies. ”

The Zheng family has also heard about this matter, but it is not very clear which ladies it is.

"Ming'er, when I went to serve the old lady, I was inquiring. Now the old lady likes me very much, and will definitely tell me about it. ”

In the Hu family's courtyard, Aunt Zhang heard that Chu Jingting came over after dinner after returning from the chrysanthemum banquet.

"Tingting, why are you so powerful, let me be rare."

As soon as Aunt Zhang entered the door, she hugged Chu Jingting and held her hand.

Chu Jingting is brilliant now, and Aunt Zhang is also happy in her heart.

Seeing that these two people were so close, Hu Shi pulled the two into the house.

"Come on, go serve tea."

"Sister, I'm not an outsider, where do I use such politeness."

After the tea was served, Aunt Zhang only put the tea aside, pulled Chu Jingting, and looked left and again.

"Aunt Zhang, what are you looking at?"

Aunt Zhang laughed heroically.

"I'll see why our Tingting is so powerful, don't you know, since this backyard knows that you won a good fortune at the banquet, they are all talking about it."

Hu Shi said a little angrily: "What is there to talk about, who still doesn't allow us Jing Ting to be outstanding." ”

"Auntie, don't be angry, if others want to say something, let them say it, we can't use a needle to sew up their mouths."

Chu Jingting comforted the Hu family, who was originally very happy, and she didn't allow others to say that her daughter was half bad.

"Sister, our Tingting has already been seen by those ladies, and it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will come to the door to propose marriage."

Speaking of marriage, Hu's face softened.

No matter how important it is, it can't be compared to the importance of Jing Ting's marriage.

"Yes, I look forward to having a good family with a good character and a good Jing Ting who can treat me well."

"What does the old lady say about Jing Ting's marriage?"

"Yesterday, I went to tell the old lady that I had a low status and wanted to think about Jing Ting's marriage, but I was also powerless, but the old lady said that I was Jing Ting's biological mother and should be in charge."

"In this way, the old lady is explaining Jing Ting's marriage to you. It's so good, it's always better than others to handle it yourself, and it doesn't necessarily mean that Zhou Jingya will find a good family for Jing Ting. ”

The two talked and talked, and turned the conversation to Jing Ting again.

"Jing Ting, tell Aunt Zhang, have you met someone you like today, do you have a favorite?"

Jing Ting's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Auntie, what do you see Aunt Zhang talking about? I'm not with you anymore, I'm going back to my room. ”

Seeing that Jing Ting was still like this, when she talked about marriage, she blushed.

Aunt Zhang smiled and chatted with Hu.

At this time, Rouge, who was idle, was eating oranges in the yard.

This orange is not easy to come by, it came from the capital.

When the Zhao family left, they kept a lot of shops in the capital, and what rewards were given in the palace every year were also given to the Zhao family in the capital.

Then the Zhao family was sent all the way to Peizhou.

Rouge is used to being a happy one, fruit is not cheap consumption in this Peizhou City, ordinary people can't buy much at all, but the Zhao family, in order to get used to rouge, opened a fruit shop.

Peizhou is far away, the soil quality is not good, there are not many fruits that can be grown, more than seventy percent of the fruits in a fruit shop are transported from other places.

The current oranges are all tribute oranges for the royal family, but Rouge likes to eat them, so how can Rong Yin not be satisfied.

In addition, this year, Hazy is pregnant, and it is the time to hurt the mouth, Hazy who never liked to eat sour before, but now he is obsessed with this orange, and he likes it tightly.

When the news came back to the capital, the palace was rewarded continuously, and there were a lot of tribute oranges.

It's just that the Zuo family heard that Hazy was pregnant, and they didn't say anything.

The current Zuo family, the old lady is dead, and Liu Xiaoqian is the only one in the backyard, over the years, Zuo Quanhan's backyard concubines and concubines have carried one after another, that is, five people are giving birth to a son for him, and even a daughter is not one.

Originally, Zuo Quanhan knew that he was hazy and pregnant, and he was very happy. I also planned to visit Peizhou City in person, but there was a concubine in the house who was pregnant.

This is a happy event that has never been seen in many years.

Zuo Quanhan, who was very happy, now can't wait to hold the concubine in the palm of his hand every day, where can he have time to look at the haze that he has not seen for more than ten years.

Besides, the Zhao family will definitely not welcome him.

Even Zuo Quanhan is self-aware and did not come to displease others.

Ika, who was waiting on the side, brought a pot of hot tea for Rouge.

"Miss, drink some hot tea and moisten your throat."

For Ika, Rouge still liked it very much, took one of the oranges on the fruit bowl on the side and handed it to her.

"Let's eat an orange."

Ika knows the value of oranges and where to collect them.

"Miss, this orange is precious, how can people like me eat it, Miss take it back quickly."

Rouge pretended to be upset, and her face darkened.

"Give it to you, you will take it, you also said that oranges are valuable, if it is someone else, I will definitely not give it, you are my personal maid, you spend the most time with me every day, what can't you eat? What kind of person are you, you are my rouge person. ”

Rouge's words moved Ika and reached out to take the orange.

The master and servant, idle and idle, talked about today's chrysanthemum feast.

"Yixiang, what kind of person do you say Chu Jingting, the eldest lady of Chu Mansion, is?"

"I remember, Miss Chu is a good person."

"Where do you think she's a good person?"

"I don't know, I just think she's a good person, and she doesn't have that feeling of being superior."

Rouge picks up a petal of orange and puts it in her mouth.

"You eat it too, why keep it! I like that Chu Jingting a lot, but do you remember the last time I saved you, didn't I go to the Chu family, since then, my grandmother and aunt have disliked the Chu family very much. Alas! It is estimated that except for me, there is no one in the family who likes the Chu family. ”

"It's all my fault, if it weren't for saving me, Miss wouldn't have to be so embarrassed now."

Rouge looked at Ika, who was holding an orange in her hand and felt pitiful.

Although he didn't grow up next to his biological parents, the love he gave himself in the family was enough to make up for this shortcoming.

Rouge took Ika's hand and fed a petal of the peeled orange in her hand to her mouth.

"What are you thinking? It was their grandmother who was prejudiced against the Chu family, and over time, they knew that Jing Ting was a good person, so they wouldn't be interfering, and the Chu family was not all bad people. ”

Ika, who was fed a mouthful of oranges, chewed it subconsciously, but without chewing twice, she swallowed it in a hurry.

It's so sour that Ika's little face is distorted.

"Miss, this orange is also sour, how did you eat it?"

Seeing Ika's disgusted face, Rouge was ready to feed her.

Ika didn't eat it this time, the sour orange just now made Ika scared.

"Miss, I won't eat it, you can keep it."

Ika, who had the word rejection written all over her face, really didn't want to eat the orange anymore.

Rouge threw the orange into his mouth and talked as he ate it.

"Yixiang, you, you just won't be happy, how delicious this orange is, you are still sour, how many people want to eat it and still can't eat it, besides, where is this sour?"

Yi Xiang thought to herself, how did the young lady eat it, and her face did not change, could it be that the one she just now had not grown well.

Rouge saw that Ika was hesitating and spoke again.

"You taste it, it's really not sour."

Egged on by Rouge, Ika decided to try it once.

Slowly peel off the orange, take out a petal, and carefully put it in your mouth.

After two bites, the sour taste exploded in Ika's mouth, and the whole taste bud protested.

The strong sourness made Ika turn around, run to the side, and spit out the orange in her mouth, which she couldn't swallow anyway.

When Rouge saw Ika's performance like this, she couldn't help but feel that Ika was not a blessed life.

"Ika, you're really unlucky, alas! Forget it, you better hurry up and drink tea and rinse your mouth. ”

After listening to Rouge's words, Ika quickly poured a glass of water and drank it all. I felt the sourness in my mouth dissipate a little.

Rouge laughed at Ika on the side.

Seeing that it was getting late, Magnolia walked over and said to Rouge.

"Miss, it's so late, it's time to rest."

Rouge is indeed a little sleepy, and today I am still a little tired after attending a whole day of banquets.

Ika went into the house with a good sense of color and prepared things for Rouge to wash.

Magnolia stayed behind to clean up the things on the table.
