"You can't bear her, it's your eldest brother who is embarrassed. He is not good at controlling Zhao Ruyu, and he will have to worry about the dowry for her when the time comes. Your family has no property, and the family needs to eat, drink, and use all kinds of expenses, and you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if you don't belong to your family. ”

"Originally, your fourth sister got married, and it was difficult for your brothers to marry, and the family couldn't come up with any money at all, so they couldn't sell the Zhuangzi land that settled down, and the family would drink the northwest wind in the future, right? Now you still ask your eldest brother to raise a dowry for Zhao Ruyu, I don't know if you are affectionate or unkind. ”

When the old lady said this, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, and when she saw Zhao Jing'an staying there in a daze and not speaking, she said again: "Of course, I am not a person who does not care about feelings. I don't mean to ask you to send her back. But since you have left her behind, you should keep her under proper control and do not let her cause scandal to others. I've said so much, what to do, you weigh it yourself. ”

Xie often came to Suipingbo's Mansion to walk around. Especially after the Zhu family followed Zhao Yuanxun out, the Xie family came to the door every once in a while, for fear that there would be something to the old lady or Zhao Ruxi, and no one would take care of it.

When Xu Xue is free, she will also come along.

The old lady had a good impression of Xie and Xu Xue, and after getting along, she liked the mother and daughter even more. She didn't want to harm the Xu family. But Zhao Ruyu can't do it if he doesn't control it.

She believed that even if Zhao Jingan didn't do anything, as long as these words reached Zhao Ruyu's ears, Zhao Ruyu would definitely restrain herself.

"I ......" Zhao Jingan felt that he had a stomach to say just now, but now, he couldn't say a word.

Because what the old lady said was reasonable, he couldn't refute it at all.

He subconsciously looked at Zhao Jingli, wanting his eldest brother to speak for him, but remembering what the old lady had just said, he lowered his head again in shame.

Zhao Jingli also had complaints about Zhao Ruyu during this time.

Zhao Ruyu and Fu Yunlang's involvement was before the separation, and after the separation, he didn't care much about Zhao Ruyu. After all, it is reasonable for a woman to want to marry a good man. As long as Zhao Ruyu goes home on time and doesn't go too far when interacting with Fu Yunlang, he will turn a blind eye.

Now that Zhao Ruyu and Fu Yunlang's family affair is not done, she goes to school honestly, and he will be like Zhao Rurui, and arrange a family affair for her. Although it is difficult to give a dowry, if you have it at home, you can give more, and if you don't have it at home, you can give less, and you can have more or less of it.

But now Zhao Ruyu is no longer in school, he dresses up all day long, and he doesn't know what to do when he runs out, so he is naturally not happy.

It's just that he is a boy, neither a woman nor an elder, and some things are really hard to say Zhao Ruyu.

Now that the old lady can point out this matter and let Zhao Jingan manage Zhao Ruyu well, he feels that it couldn't be better.

Zhao Jing immediately became a family now, but in the final analysis, he was only a teenager under the age of sixteen, and the burden of the family was on his shoulders, but his younger brother Zhao Jing'an, who was born on the same day, didn't worry about anything, and he was not without complaints.

Therefore, he lowered his head, didn't look at Zhao Jing'an, and didn't say anything to play a round for him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the scene began to be embarrassing, thinking that the two brothers would have to entertain guests for Zhao Ruxi for a while, she said: "Jing'an, your grandmother doesn't want you to drive Sister Yu out." It's just that she is what you want to stay, and you have to take responsibility for controlling her, and you can't just leave everything to your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is only one cup older than you, and you can't bear to see him worry like a little old man every day? ”

Zhao Jingan glanced up at Zhao Jingli, and when he saw that Zhao Jingli hung his head and did not say [567 Chinese] words, he replied ashamedly: "Yes, aunt, I remember." ”

He saluted the old lady again: "Grandmother has taught you a lesson. Jing'an was ignorant before, but after being taught by his grandmother, Jing'an must have changed. ”

The old lady bowed: "It's good to think about it and change it." Don't worry, we will also help you keep an eye on your family affairs. I hope you can get a good wife. ”

Although the family was separated, he even signed a severance document with the third room at the beginning. But the second and third rooms are not doing well, and Zhao Yuanxun, who is an uncle, should take care of them.

Therefore, it is very important to marry these two brothers a wife who is both virtuous. Otherwise, there will be a bunch of trouble.

"Alright, let's go to the front yard first. Look at the time, it's time for the two adults to come. Zhu smiled.

Only then did the two of them say goodbye.

Walking to the front yard in silence, Zhao Jingan thought about all the things in the family since the death of his mother, and the life in the second room after the separation, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he felt, and couldn't help but say to Zhao Jingli: "Brother, have I caused you a lot of trouble?" ”

Zhao Jingli sighed and patted Zhao Jing'an's shoulder: "Don't say anything else, you should worry more about the matter of the sixth sister." There is a saying that grandmother is very right, because I am afraid of you, I really don't care about the affairs of the sixth sister, otherwise you and she will think that I can't tolerate her. It's not easy for me to be in this family, and her situation makes it even harder for me to do it. ”

Although he is a big brother, his temperament is very similar to Zhao Yuanxun when he was young, and he always regards his younger brothers and sisters as his responsibility. But he is still a teenager, and he has not yet reached the point where he can tolerate everything. The blood is there, and he will still say what he needs to say.

"Well, I'll talk about her when I get back in a moment." Zhao Jing'an said.

The two went to the library in the front yard and saw Zhao Ruxi sitting there practicing calligraphy.

Hearing Qingfeng's greeting voice, Zhao Ruxi raised his head and said with a smile: "You guys read the book first, Lord Qi and Gan Fuzi don't know when they will arrive." ”

Qi Xugu is a scholar of the household department, there are many things in the yamen, he is usually very busy, and he often can't leave the yamen immediately after going to the yamen, so the time to come is uncertain.

"Okay, let's read the book, and the fifth sister can do it herself." Zhao Jing said.

Zhao Ruxi nodded, then concentrated on practicing his own words, and did not speak again.

When she finished writing a piece of text, took two steps back and began to summarize where her calligraphy was written well and where it was not, she heard Zhao Jing'an's "ah".

She turned her head to follow the sound and saw Zhao Jing'an standing not far behind her, looking at her calligraphy with fixed eyes.

"It's ...... What did you write? Zhao Jingan muttered.

Zhao Jingli walked over with a book and said, "Nonsense, didn't you read what the fifth sister wrote?" ”

He walked closer, leaned over and glanced at the words written by Zhao Ruxi, with a look of surprise on his face: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, fifth sister, your handwriting is completely different from before." ”

From the township test to the meeting test, Zhao Ruxi spent a lot of time reading books, and had little time to practice calligraphy and draw. Zhao Jingli came over occasionally, and he saw her reading, and he hadn't seen her practicing calligraphy for a long time. It can be said that since Xiao Ruotong instructed Zhao Ruxi in calligraphy, Zhao Jingli has not seen her handwriting.

That's why he was so surprised.
