Zhao Wennian asked Luo Tingchen carefully for a long time, knowing that he didn't startle the snake, so he nodded with satisfaction.

"You're only fifteen, and you know you can't fight hard, which is good." Zhao Wennian looked at his nephew appreciatively, looked at the tall child in front of him, and couldn't be more satisfied: "It's better to let go of your grudges and persuade your mother to let you come to Zhao's house to borrow strength." ”

"When my grandmother went, my mother was only four years old, and my uncle was only eight years old. If the grandmother is really vicious, the mother will not grow up, and the uncle will not want to become a talent. ”

Zhao Wennian's eyes brightened a little when he saw Luo Tingchen, he patted Luo Tingchen's shoulder, sighing and delighted: "Your mother can raise a son like you, it is her blessing, and it is also my blessing." ”

"I was beaten and scolded by your mother since I was a child, and I couldn't get rid of her resentment. For many years, I've dreamed of hearing a fair word. ”

"Little Uncle......

Luo Tingchen was so ashamed that he was about to make a fuss again, but Zhao Wennian held him up: "Since I was born, it was your grandfather who raised him personally." He is afraid that my mother will raise me crookedly, and he doesn't know 'siblings' and 'dearest', I know that Zhao Pingniang is my sister when I was a child, you can rest assured. ”

Compared with the little uncle, the mother fell behind in an instant.

Luo Tingchen stood in place, blushing with shame.

"You are a lucky person to be able to get the blue eyes of the king of the county. At a young age, he can bend and stretch, be brave and resourceful. It is the ability to grasp good fortune. If you can come to me, it means that you know family and affection. ”

Zhao Wennian took a sip of tea, and couldn't be more satisfied with Luo Tingchen: "You don't care about the entourage, and then I'll send someone over to you." ”

"Uncle Xiao can prepare first, and if you do it rashly, you will be shocked by Mrs. Pei." Luo Tingchen thanked his uncle and said carefully: "A mother-in-law, it's okay to forcibly pick her up behind her mother's back." But the hearts of the people in the house have not returned, and there will always be people who will be unfair for her, so as to make it bad. All the fields, villages, and shops are also in the hands of the Pei family. Let her be vigilant, just afraid that these possessions will hurt her vitality. ”

Zhao Wennian has the most experience in business, knowing that Pei Pozi wants to be greedy for their silver, and even it is very simple to bring down the shop. No matter how powerful he is, he can't immediately put his hand into Zhao Pingniang's shop.

He looked at Luo Tingchen's eyes more and more appreciatively, and praised three or four good things in a row before laughing happily: "I am very relieved that you can be so thoughtful to this point."

The little uncle can gain a foothold in the capital, and there is still a little bit of proportion. I'll keep all the little servants in the dark, and you should take them with you slowly. If there is a difficulty in the middle, go directly to the shopkeeper of 'Linxi Jiuli', and I will put all the money and money for you there." ”

"I have money......"

"Isn't all your money still in Pei Pozi's hands, and you have to spend too much all of a sudden, isn't it just a surprise. Don't be polite to your uncle, go to the prince's side, there are places where you use money, don't be too stingy. ”

Thinking that Yuhuquan would cost twenty or thirty taels of silver for a casual table, Luo Tingchen was not polite in the end: "My nephew thanked my uncle first." ”

"When I find a reliable and handy master for you, it's not too late for you to thank me."

At the same time, the second wife took Roman and Roland to have fun in the front hall.

Roland is at a naïve age, and he is very sensible. The second wife admitted her mistake and was really good to her, so she was not unhappy at all.

At this time, he was picking out the handkerchiefs he had embroidered one by one to show the second wife: "Uncle and aunt use this side, and the crane song on this side is with your temperament." ”

The second wife took it and looked at it over and over again, with a shocked face: "This is embroidered by Lan'er herself?" This stitch and color scheme are very powerful. ”

After being praised by his aunt, Roland's whole face was proud: "Well, if my aunt likes it, I will embroider the upper of your aunt's shoes next time." After practicing for a while, I will cut my aunt's autumn shirt. ”

"Good, good!" The second wife smiled with crooked eyebrows, and the more she looked at Luo Lan, the more she liked it: "My little aunt has no daughter, so I have to count on Lan Lan to embroider handkerchiefs and make small clothes." ”

"My aunt will definitely be able to have children in pairs." After saying this, Roland was afraid that her aunt would misunderstand her and refuse to do it for her, so she hurriedly added: "I also make it for my aunt, she is very satisfied with the embroidered shoes and dirty clothes I made for Mama Pei last time, and I dare to use them to honor my aunt if I practice again." ”

The second wife hugged Roland and kissed her fiercely, looking overjoyed.

In her heart, she was obsessed with Pei Pozi, when Lan Lan cried before, she said that Pei Pozi beat her, and Roman also said that Pei Pozi did something to her, and now listening to Lan Lan's meaning, she still dares to make her master filial to her with a shy dog face?

The second wife, who is a calf protector, is very angry!

Zhao Xi, who was watching the tricks with Roman, although she was only twelve years old this year, she had been learning housekeeping with her mother for two years. When she was called over by her aunt to accompany Roman, she was listening to the reply of the housekeeper's mother-in-law in Wentaozhai.

Because of the grievances of the elders, she didn't like it at all, and she couldn't remember her little aunt. I don't like Roman and others who have not yet come, but they have set off a storm in the Zhao family.

But when his mother left, he said hello, and his brother said all the good things for Roman. When Mama Wu came to invite, she was reluctant, so she could only send her mother-in-law first and reluctantly followed.

She was originally cowardly, and planned to leave after a perfunctory sentence. Anyway, the housekeeper herself is waiting for her to reply, and Manfu really has a lot of things waiting for her to deal with.

But when she saw Roman, her eyes lit up - this sister was so beautiful that she was not aggressive, and her eyes raised her to be calm, quiet and stable.

Talking to her again, I feel that she can speak to her heart in every word. And, no matter what she says, she can pick it up. There is no forcible pretense that you don't understand, and there is no show to trample others under your feet.

has a good temperament, and it really makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Within a moment, Zhao Xi stuck to Roman's side, whispering to Roman from time to time. It's so good, like sisters who grew up together.

Cuiyin, the maid who was waiting on the side, saw that Roman's mouth was a little dry, and hurriedly handed over a cup of Longjing with a suitable temperature: "Miss Cousin, let's have a cup of tea first, the eldest lady is a talker, you can't accommodate her just by accommodating her." ”

Roman smiled 'poof', took Cuiyin's tea and said with a smile: "How good it is that the eldest cousin has such a lively temperament, often with his cousin, everyone can be much more cheerful." ”

"It's just that ordinary people want to listen to me, and I still ignore her." Zhao Xi followed Roman's words and threw Cui Yin an arrogant and smug look: See, my sister just admires me.

Roman drank the tea and felt a little hungry. She reached out and took a piece of water chestnut cake and stuffed it into her mouth, and then picked up the plate and handed it to Zhao Xi: "The water chestnut cake is fragrant and glutinous, do you want a piece of it?" ”

Zhao Xi reached out to take it, and suddenly noticed Roman's hand: "My sister has such a slender figure, how can she match her hands like double steamed buns?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xi knew that he was wrong. She secretly regretted in her heart, and her brain quickly found a way to whirl.

The second wife with thick lines was also taken aback, and looked at Roman nervously: There are so many things that have happened today, don't make trouble now.

Roman didn't seem to hear the inappropriateness of the words, she put down the plate, picked up a piece of horseshoe cake and stuffed it into Zhao Xi's mouth, and said with a smile crooked eyebrows: "This is our kitchen's specialty pastry, cousin also tastes it." ”

Without waiting for Zhao Xi to swallow the pastry and speak, Roman raised his white little hand and looked at it over and over: "I also think that my cousin's hands are good-looking, slender and fair-skinned, and they don't highlight the bone joints, not only with rings but also with nails." ”

He stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xi's hand again, and then said with a smile: "But if you want to talk about the feel, my hands can throw my cousin ten miles." If you don't believe it, it's warm and soft, and whoever holds it is reluctant to let go. ”

Zhao Xi smiled and threw a soft sachet at her: "How can you boast like this?" ”

Roman looked innocent: "With a natural and flawless beauty, what can I do?" ”

"Shameless!"

Zhao Xi couldn't straighten up with a smile, and the second wife also laughed out loud: "Who taught the man girl to be so narrow?" ”

Roland looked at his little aunt in a daze, puzzled: "My sister just told the truth, how can I promote narrowness?" ”

Zhao Xi and the little aunt who were laughing glanced at each other, and the laugh that was about to stop broke out again: "Yes, yes, just tell the truth." Your sister is naturally beautiful, the best in the world. ”

"Yes!" Roland nodded heavily and laughed as well.

Roman doted on his sister, and his heart was warm.

This atmosphere of harmony and joy lasted until the Roman and their departure. Zhao Xi reluctantly took Roman's hand, but he was reluctant to let go: "This time I left, when will you come again?" ”

The second wife squatted in front of Roland, hugged her and told her carefully: "You are the treasure of the little uncle, don't lose your identity again." What kind of mother-in-law does she care about, if she doesn't like it, you will whip her with the whip given to you by your aunt. Your aunt supports you, and no one wants to embarrass you. ”

Roland's face was full of brilliance, and he held his aunt's face and kissed it: "There is an aunt who is Lan'er's backer, and Lan'er is not afraid of anyone." ”

On the way back from Zhongling Temple, Mrs. Zhao's heart was beating up and down: Those ancestors, don't make trouble to the point of being out of control!

When she went home and saw the harmony of the whole house, Mrs. Zhao was still stunned. Especially when I saw the children who couldn't usually see people together, I was even more surprised-

Without waiting for her to ask, Zhao Xi, who noticed that her mother was back, picked up the square embroidery handkerchief and came over: "Mother, look at it, this is the craft of seven-year-old Lan Lan." This pattern is graceful and atmospheric, and the stitching is also delicate and meticulous, which is very suitable for the temperament of the mother. ”

He also said: "Lan Lan is still young after all, she is talented, but she has not practiced kung fu at home." Manman's embroidered pillow screen is a must, so many good things in my mother's hands, I will lift the pillow screen to my room, my mother has no opinion. ”

Zhao Chongwen was holding a red sandalwood box in his hand, protecting it like a treasure, and turned his head to leave.

It's like being afraid of being robbed.

Zhao Xi glanced at him and smiled to explain his mother's confusion: "It's just a box of books, and it is a handwritten copy of a rare book." My brother couldn't love it when he got it, and he praised his cousin for being generous all night. ”

"What did you give to your second uncle and aunt?"

"The second uncle and aunt don't know, but looking at the second aunt's face, it's too satisfying." Zhao Xi took her mother's hand and took her to see the 'Moonlight on the Lotus Pond': "I left a refreshing large screen for my mother, which is just right to put in the house in summer." ”

Mrs. Zhao and her daughter finished reading the gift together, and called her confidant mother-in-law to inquire about what happened during the day, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Go and call the second master over, I have something to discuss with him." ”

The mother-in-law took the order to go out, but she couldn't help but look back at the master's expression: The master's appearance is not like joy.
