As she spoke, she introduced to Zhao Ruxi again: "This is Mrs. Zhongqinbo." ”

As soon as Zhao Ruxi heard the three words of Zhong Qinbo, the polite smile on his face became tightened, and the gaze that looked at Mrs. Zhong Qinbo became extremely cold.

The son of Zhongqin Bo is the one who the original owner married in the book, the one who has the good of Longyang. After the original owner got married, she was not only tortured by her husband, but she was laughed at when she went out, and the loyal and diligent lady in front of her often rubbed her.

Later, the Suiping Marquis Mansion was raided, and the lady relied on the original owner without the support of her mother's family, and embezzled the dowry of the original owner, although it was not rich, but she could still support herself, and directly asked her son to write a letter of resignation, driving the penniless original owner out of the door, and letting the original owner freeze and starve to death.

Although this is a book, the old lady, Zhu, Zhao Ruyu, etc. described in it are all living in front of their eyes, flesh and blood. Zhao Ruxi can't treat the original body as a paper man now. Thinking that the loyal and diligent uncle in front of her and her son who had the good character of Longyang owed the original owner a life, Zhao Ruxi couldn't have a good face for her. If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely seek justice for the original owner.

As soon as Mrs. Zhongqinbo heard that Zhao Ruxi was a girl from Suiping Bofu, her face became cold. But after listening to the second half of the sentence, a smile appeared on her face again, and she said affectionately: "It turned out to be Miss Zhao, Mr. Deadwood's apprentice." In a few days, we will hold a chrysanthemum banquet in our house, and when the time comes, I will post to Miss Zhao, and ask Miss Zhao to enjoy the light with your old lady and lady. ”

"Nope." Zhao Ruxi said lightly, "Thank you Madame for your kindness." It's just that I'm busy, I'm afraid I don't have time, so I can't attend the banquet held in your house, I'm sorry. ”

Although Zhongqinbofu and Suiping Bofu are both Bofu, Zhongqinbo is still a four-grade military general. Mrs. Zhongqinbo looked down on the people of Suiping Bofu in her bones. It's just because Zhao Ruxi is Kang Shilin's senior disciple that he gave two faces. Where did she think that Zhao Ruxi would directly refuse her invitation?

Seeing this, Xiao Ru broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly rushed before Mrs. Zhongqin opened her mouth and said, "My princess is waiting for Miss Zhao, I will lead her over first, and you will have a chance to talk again in a while." ”

Saying that, she pulled Zhao Ruxi and left. Qingfeng hurriedly followed.

"You, you ......" Mrs. Zhongqinbo pointed to the backs of the three of them, trembling with anger.

"Poof." Someone next to him couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

Mrs. Zhongqinbo suddenly turned around and saw that it was the wife of the family of the priest of the country, Master Peng, who was covering her mouth and smiling. She knew that this was not something she could provoke, so she glared at them fiercely, turned around and helped the little maid away.

Mrs. Peng patted Zhao Ruyu's hand and said with a smile: "That one just now is your own sister?" It's pretty impressive. ”

Zhao Ruyu smiled awkwardly: "I heard my mother say that my sister is very sensible and knows how to advance and retreat. It must have been Mrs. Zhongqinbo who did something just now, so that she couldn't look down on her, so she would be like this. ”

"You don't have to explain." Mrs. Peng said, "I know better than you what kind of virtue that lady is. The mistake just now must not have been on Ling Mei. ”

At this time, Zhao Ruxi had followed Xiaoru to Princess Zhennan.

Princess Zhennan sat in the hall with the old princess, and there were also the eldest princess Shangde and several ladies.

The old lady of Suiping Bofu and the Zhu family were not here.

Seeing Zhao Ruxilai, Princess Zhennan smiled jokingly and said to Princess Shangde: "Your student is here." ”

Saying that, she stood up and personally introduced Zhao Ruxi to the old princess.

Zhao Ruxi gave the old princess a dignified salute and gave her own congratulatory gift: a small Guanyin jade carving.

This is carved by a craftsman who designed it herself and called Bao Zhai.

She heard Xiao Ruotong mention that the old princess had the habit of eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and thought that she believed in Buddhism, so she gave such a gift.

Originally, Zhao Ruxi was a girl from Suiping Bofu, and since she came to the banquet with her grandmother and mother, she didn't need to prepare a gift by herself.

But she didn't come with her grandmother and mother, but by herself, and it wouldn't be good if she didn't give gifts. Anyway, Xiao Ruotong is very good to her, the jade quality of this Guanyin statue is average, and it is not worth much, it can be regarded as a gift.

Their reputation for the ruin of the Suiping Bofu has long been outside, and if she gives something of great value, it will be thankless and suspicious of sycophancy. It's fitting to give something that isn't very valuable but shows your heart.

The old princess saw it, but she liked it very much, and took the jade carving to look at it for a while, then she looked at Zhao Ruxi and said with a smile: "This Guanyin is full of compassion, it is different from the Guanyin I have seen, I don't know if it is from the hand of that famous artist?" ”

"It's Master Chen of Bao Zhai." Zhao Ruxi said.

Princess Zhennan laughed.

She asked Zhao Ruxi: "This must have been drawn by Xiaoxi and carved by a craftsman, right?" ”

Zhao Ruxi nodded.

The old princess suddenly realized.

She said that according to the lifelike appearance of this Guanyin statue, it should be from the hands of a famous artist. But when a famous artist carves a Buddha statue, why don't you use the best mutton fat jade, but use ordinary jade? So that's what happened.

Princess Zhennan said to the old princess: "Mother, you don't know, do you? This child not only created a way of painting, but was ordered by the emperor to let the entire Dajin Painting officials learn from her so that they could pursue fugitives, and was accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Deadwood. She also drew a lot of jewelry drawings for Bao Zhai. A few days ago, Sister Tong's filial piety to you was all from her hands. ”

"Oh?" The old princess looked at Zhao Ruxi in surprise.

Bao Zhai is Xiao Ruotong's silver building, she knows. In the eyes of his granddaughter, she didn't care about anything except calligraphy, she didn't know anything, but she didn't expect that a silver building made on a whim would have a thriving business, and many noblewomen in the capital knew that they took a carriage to buy it in Bac Ninh.

At that time, her daughter-in-law told her that the good business of Bao Zhai was not because Sister Tong was good at trading, but because they invited a girl who was particularly good at drawing jewelry, and the jewelry she made was more novel than other silver buildings.

She never expected that the girl her daughter-in-law was talking about was the little girl in front of her who seemed to be only fourteen or five years old.

She is also very good-looking, and gave her such a compassionate statue of Guanyin.

Like the old princess, she has enjoyed all her life of glory and wealth, and her status is noble. The queen mother, queen, concubines and other people in the palace who are higher than her can't come out, and there are few people who can show her face outside, so she doesn't have many scruples about talking and doing things.

She took off a string of Buddhist beads directly from her neck, beckoned Zhao Ruxi to her, hung it up for her with her own hands, and smiled kindly: "Good child, the Buddha bless you, a smooth life, no illness and no disaster." ”
