No matter how the old lady and the eldest lady's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law usually get along, there are still contradictions between mother and daughter, let alone mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Regarding the affairs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mama Jin has always been with the mud and does not want to get involved in it. After all, the old lady always has to walk in front of the eldest lady, and Mama Jin is a few years younger than the old lady, so she may have to rely on the eldest lady to live in the future, so she doesn't want to offend the eldest lady.

Seeing the old lady complaining at this time, she smiled and said, "Old lady, you also understand and understand the eldest lady." The fifth girl may be the biological daughter of the eldest lady, and she treats the fifth girl differently from the sixth girl. If this is true, the fifth girl is the daughter of the long house from Master Hou and Mrs. Hou. What are the six girls in comparison? It's just the adopted daughter of our Hou Mansion. Not even the bloodline of the Hou Mansion, an outsider, why should he pick things with the five girls? ”

She looked at the old lady's face and continued: "In case both of them like the same thing, isn't it possible that the fifth girl still has to be entrusted to give the good things to the sixth girl?" If you don't let it, you will have a bad reputation for being immodest and bullying your adopted daughter. The eldest lady is also aggrieved for the five girls. Old lady, think about it, the five girls' good days in the past ten years were robbed by the six girls, and now they finally return home, and they have to let the six girls pick good things first, and humbly let her, is she born to owe the six girls? Not to mention the eldest lady, the old slave has to feel sad for the five girls and feel sorry for her. ”

The old lady didn't think about it so much at the time, but she felt that Zhao Ruyu was admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy, and was favored by the Pingnan Hou Mansion. Even if she is a little lacking in her background, she has filled in her background because of this ability and glory, and if she marries a good family in the future, the Hou Mansion will have to rely on her to help. So she now treats Zhao Ruyu as the same as Xu Xi, thinking that a bowl of water is flat, and she can't let Zhao Ruyu chill her heart because she asked Xu Xi to pick something first.

But he never thought about her move, but made the eldest lady unhappy.

She rubbed her brows and sighed, "I'm old and confused. Always trying to make everyone happy, but it turns out that everyone is unhappy, alas. ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Mama Jin: "Ah Jin, what do you say I should do?" Is it now that someone is going to tell the Zhu family and let her lead the Xi girl to pick things first? ”

As soon as Mama Jin wanted to speak, she heard Liuli come in and say, "Old lady, the sixth girl is back, and she said that she came to greet you." ”

Well, shut up.

Seeing that Mama Jin didn't speak, the old lady glanced outside in embarrassment, thought for a while, and said, "Let her in." "Everyone is outside, you can't leave her dry, right?

Zhao Ruyu asked for peace, and sure enough, he talked about what he needed in the academy.

Things have come to this point, and the old lady can't perfunctory Zhao Ruyu first, let Xu Xi pick first, and then let Zhao Ruyu choose.

There are many people in the back house, and they basically can't hide anything. As long as the eldest lady leads people to open the storeroom, people will always be able to see it. Zhao Ruyu is now a female student at the Beijing Women's Academy, and the maids in the mansion will no longer treat her as the adopted daughter of the Hou Mansion as they did some time ago. As long as she sent someone to inquire, sooner or later she would always know about these things.

Rather than being flattering on both sides, it's better to do what you originally thought.

"You go back to eat first, and after eating, you come over, and I'll ask the eldest lady to take you and Ruxi to pick things together." The things she wants in the academy are similar to yours, and I just told her, so I asked her to wait for you to pick them up. ”

"Thank you, old lady." Zhao Ruyu didn't have much emotional turmoil when she heard this.

Since she was admitted to the Beijing Women's Academy, she knew that compared with Zhao Ruxilai, the old lady who valued interests would still value her more.

After eating, the eldest lady arrived at Rongxi Hall. Zhao Ruyu had already sent a little maid to wait, and rushed over when she got the news. Xu Xi's side was close, and before Zhao Ruyu arrived, she arrived at Rongxi Hall.

When Zhao Ruyu came, the three of them went to the Houfu treasury together.

The eldest lady motioned for Caidie to open the door and said to the two: "The piano here, you can see if there is anything you like." ”

Without waiting for the two to speak, she looked at Zhao Ruyu: "Ruxi wants to learn Guzheng, what about you?" ”

Zhao Ruyu glanced at Xu Xi and said with a smile: "Then let my sister pick first." I'm also learning guzheng. It's just that the original guzheng is not very good, so I want to pick a new one. ”

As Miss Houfu, the old lady also invited a teacher to teach them. Zhao Ruyu originally learned the guzheng, and she entered the Pingnan Hou Mansion in her last life, and she also made great progress in this regard.

But when she entered the Beijing Women's Academy, she realized that there are really a lot of people who have attainments in this area, and the level of her two lives combined, among her classmates in the academy, is only at the upper middle level, not top-notch. Therefore, she naturally didn't dare to abandon her non-dominant advantage for Xu Xi's sake and learn another instrument.

She has experienced two lifetimes and has seen countless good things, and she does not feel that the things in the treasury of the Hou Mansion are rare. Therefore, she didn't have the idea of having to pick and choose first, and she was happy to make a high profile and let Xu Xi pick first.

"It's better for my sister to pick first." Xu Xixin has more eyes than ordinary people, so he naturally refuses to pick first, "I'm my sister, I have to let my sister." My sister can't let me have a bad reputation for not being humble to my sister, right? ”

Facing Xu Xi's smiling face, Zhao Ruyu didn't insist anymore. Xu Xi has talked about this, and if she insists on Xu Xi to choose, she will become a vicious woman.

She curled her lips: "Then my sister thanked my sister." So saying, he stepped into the storeroom.

"Mama Ruan, Caidie, you two go in and accompany the six girls." The eldest lady commanded.

Mama Ruan and Caidie agreed and entered the warehouse, and the eldest lady, Xu Xi, and Qingfeng all stayed outside.

"How was it at the academy? Can someone bully you? Who are the gentlemen who teach you? Do you understand what they say? The eldest lady asked Xu Xidao.

Xu Xi answered one by one.

The two only chatted for less than half a cup of tea, and Zhao Ruyu came out and said to the eldest lady: "Auntie, I picked it out." ”

The eldest lady looked at the guzheng that Fu Shu was holding in her hand, and looked at Zhao Ruyu in surprise: "Why did you pick this one?" ”

The eldest lady is also from a noble background, and she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when she was young, not to mention that Zhao Ruzhu, the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, and Zhao Ruyu, the second girl, are all from the eldest lady.

In her impression, the guzheng she was holding in her arms was not good among the several guzheng in the warehouse, and the sound quality could only be said to be average.

"My sister asked me to pick first, how can I pick the best? Naturally, I want to leave the good ones to my sister. Zhao Ruyu said.
