mentioned the portrait he painted for Uncle Li, Xiaocao was proud and a little embarrassed, "Grandma, Uncle said that he didn't let Xiaocao show it to others." ”

Old Madam Li smiled more kindly, "Grandma is no one else. ”

Xiaocao couldn't make up her mind, and turned her head to look at her mother. Qin replied respectfully, "The old lady is naturally no one else, but since Xiaocao has promised Lord Li, she has to abide by the rules." The painting is in the hands of Master Li, and the old lady wants to see it, so she can mention it to the adult when she comes to ask for peace again. Xiaocao has not been learning to paint for a long time, and the painting is not good, so don't pick on it after you see it. ”

Although Qin's words were not satisfactory, the reason was not crooked, and Old Madam Li was very satisfied, "Have you seen Anren?" ”

The Qin clan couldn't lie, and it was hard to say that he had seen it, and his face was flushed. Xiaocao immediately said, "Grandma I'm sorry, Xiaocao went back and copied a picture, only for my mother and sister to see." ”

Old Madam Li rubbed Xiaocao's head lovingly, "Grandma is not as careful as your uncle, what does Anren think of Xiaocao's painting?" ”

Thinking of that portrait, Qin couldn't help laughing, but she didn't dare to laugh in front of Zuo's blind date, her face turned even redder, and she said after a long time, "Xiaocao is still a child, and she is childish in painting......

Seeing that the Qin family could smile like this, Mrs. Li was really interested in the portrait, and she was also happy because this portrait made the Qin family a little less afraid of her son, and smiled even more happily, "Xiaocao's painting is childish and vivid, and even the saint and Hua Concubine Niangniang are full of praise for Xiaocao's words." ”

Speaking of the saint, the old lady thought of Zheng Meiren who was pregnant, and she couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart, and the smile on her face naturally faded. Xiaocao noticed it, and sat obediently next to her and pulled her mother to stop talking, and the Qin family didn't dare to come out.

Mrs. Li has experienced several strong winds and rains in her life, and her momentum without anger is not comparable to others. When she came back to her senses, she saw that the Qin mother and daughter were looking at her, cautious and with sincere care, and her heart couldn't help but warm. Such a look, since her husband and daughter-in-law died one after another, she became more and more severe, and she could only occasionally see it in her two granddaughters over the years.

Not wanting to scare off the Qin family, Old Madam Li softened her face and talked about what made the Qin family relax, "When the weather is good in two days, Anren will help the old man plant the vegetables, what else can be planted recently, let's plant some together?" ”

Speaking of this, Qin Shi can say for a long time, "In addition to green vegetables, sunflowers, cucumbers, and eggplants can be acreseeded, and some wild vegetables can also be picked in the past two days, which can be used to make dumplings, steamed buns, steamed salty wotou, ......."

In order not to meet with the Pi family, the Qin family stayed in Lijiazhuang for a long time before taking the little girl home. When he came back and saw that the Pi family was gone, the Qin family breathed a sigh of relief, "What is your grandma trying to do?" ”

Xiao Nuan took the dim sum that the mother brought back, opened it and ate a piece, this was brought out from the palace, it was delicious and exquisite, Xiao Nuan also liked it, "She just changed her way to ask for benefits from us, the old lady's body is still strong, right?" ”

"It's sturdy, and the complexion is good, it looks a few years younger than your grandmother, and it really doesn't look like a sixty-year-old." The Qin family said enviously, there are Xiangye's sons and queen's daughters in their sixties, which is the top honor for women in the world except for the queen mother and the queen.

Pi Shi looks old this year, but he is actually just 51 years old.

Xiao Nuan smiled, "The old lady is well-maintained and well-fed, so she naturally looks young." When my mother reaches the age of the old lady, she must not look older than her. ”

The Qin family didn't believe her daughter's words, the old lady was everyone's best girl, she couldn't be exposed to the wind and the sun all day long, she was beaten by the wind and rain, and her flesh and skin were already thick, "However, the old lady seems to have something on her mind." ”

Xiaocao, who was playing with rhubarb's fingers, also raised her head, "That is, it seems that the old lady is worried about the affairs of the palace." ”

What can make her worry is that Zheng Meiren is pregnant, after Xiao Nuan told her mother and sister about it, Qin's heart was blocked for Hua Concubine's mother, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "This is a big happy event......

Xiaocao is much more direct, "What about the mother?" ”

"It's okay Niangniang, the third master asked us to avoid Zheng Meiren when we enter the palace, so as not to cause trouble." Small warm road.

Zheng Meiren is pregnant with a dragon seed in her belly, and it is great to touch her. The Qin family decided not to take Xiaocao to cause trouble for his daughter, "Xiaocao and I won't follow you into the palace, you should be careful." ”

Xiaocao, who thought about Hua Concubine, didn't make trouble, "Sister brought the portrait of Xiaocao recently to Niangniang into the palace." Xiaocao's words this time, most of them can't be taken away by the saints. ”

Since he knew that most of his paintings were taken by Emperor Jianlong to Yishou Palace and not given to Niangniang, Xiaocao has been shrewd. She will now paint a few more paintings related to women, such as General Wu's beautiful wife, the daily life of her sister and mother-in-law, Grandma Qin San and the village aunts, etc., so that Emperor Jianlong can't take it away, and the paintings will remain in Niangniang's hands.

Xiao Nuan said with a smile, "Every time we come, we go into the palace together to say goodbye, and this time I go alone will make people gossip." Let's hand the Empress Dowager a fold tomorrow, she promised us to go, we will go, maybe we don't have to go for half a month. ”

The Queen Mother must also attach great importance to Zheng Meiren's belly, maybe she will wait for her fetus to sit firmly before letting them enter Chonghua Palace. Thinking of this, the Qin family was upset for Niangniang.

Thinking of Niangniang, she couldn't help but think of the third master. The third master is the prince, and he will also take a concubine in the future, and wait until his concubine is pregnant...... The Qin family frowned, and began to feel sorry for her daughter again, "Xiao Nuan, Yiji Houfu will send another post, let's go over and go around, right?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Nuan was stunned, just talking about things in the palace, why did he talk about Yiji Houfu in a blink of an eye?

"Mother still wants to meet the lady in their house." The old marquis of Yiji has been good to his wife for decades, and his wife's methods must be amazing. If Xiao Nuan can learn this method, he will be able to worry less in this life.

Xiao Nuan said with a smile, "If my mother wants to see that old lady, she doesn't have to go to Yiji Houfu, next month when Mrs. Li's birthday banquet comes, she will come over to congratulate her birthday, and then my mother will be able to see her." ”

Mrs. Li and Chen Zumo are born on the same day, and with Chen Zumo's temper, they will definitely hold a banquet in Chen's mansion, so Xiao Nuan and Xiaocao are not good to attend Mrs. Li's birthday banquet, but their mothers can go. Xiao Nuan hopes that her mother can see more people, and in case she meets someone who can get along, she will have more places to move around in the future. And Mrs. Li has a good impression of her mother, and there is nothing wrong with having more dealings with her.

Although Li Xiran is not a good person, he has not married for ten years since his wife's death. Whether it's because Wushan is not a cloud, or for the sake of a few young children in the family, Xiao Nuan thinks he is still a good man.

In the future, if the mother wants to open her mouth and want to marry again, Li Xiran is actually a pretty good choice. And judging from his actions, he doesn't seem to hate his mother, so Xiao Nuan pretended not to understand Mrs. Li's thoughts, and didn't point it out to her mother, lest she feel pressured in her heart, and immediately stayed away from their family.

My mother is only thirty-two years old this year, and she is in her prime of life, so there is no need to ruin her life because of bad luck and bumping into a scumbag.
