Zhong Liang took the thing, and his heart was overjoyed.

The eldest sister doesn't know a single word, how can she buy the exam papers, it must have been given by the cousin of the Shen family.

The ability of the cousin of the Shen family is known to everyone in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

He came to Zhongfu for a few days, and he was supposed to go to study, but his mother didn't allow it.

He was incapable, but now that he has ready-made test papers, he still has some expectations in his heart.

The second lady knew about this and said: "What kind of good thing can she give, I can't read a single big character, and I'm embarrassed to give it?" ”

So I didn't take it to heart.

Zhong Jinling was punished and grounded, and he couldn't know about it.

However, the two sons of the third room asked at a glance when they saw the test papers: "Where did this theory come from?" ”

Taozi said: "When the eldest lady went out today, she met someone on the street who shouted that it was selling test questions, so she bought it for the two sons, which can be regarded as a dedication." ”

Zhong Hao sneered lightly, went outside to buy test papers, hum, they were all written by Xiucai who had not been successful for many years, just self-pity, what use could it be.

"Eldest sister is kind, we understand it, this is a strict test, as the son of an official, how can we know the law and break the law."

Peaches didn't insist on dissuading her, because the eldest lady said: Whether they want it or not is their business, and it's my business if I do my best.

How serious is the test, how can it be guessed like this.

He thought that the eldest lady didn't really want to give the three young masters the exam questions, after all, these three young masters usually don't have a good relationship with the eldest lady.

They all looked down on the eldest lady.

hum

They don't want to be right.

Just as he was about to take it back, he saw the third lady and said, "Hao'er, Chen'er, since it was given by your eldest sister, take it, maybe it's really useful." ”

Momoko bowed her head and offered her something.

The third lady naturally disdains this kind of thing, but the third lady can be a person.

She went back and told the eldest lady about the behavior of the three young masters, and the eldest lady was not angry, but expected.

"Miss, you know that the attitude of the third room is not good, why do you still send it? Wouldn't it be better for us to send something else? I heard that the fourth and fifth ladies also gave the third young master knee pads. ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "I don't know how to embroider." ”

Peach opened her mouth, and Chestnut smiled and said, "The slave can embroider, but other young ladies don't embroider it herself, just Miss Really." ”

Zhong Jinxiu shrugged.

The imperial examination is here.

On this day, the family sent the three young masters into the examination room, because the old lady did not come, her aunt came out to send them on behalf of the old lady.

Her aunt didn't want to come, but the old lady said that your nephew went to the examination room, and your man was not there, so you should do your best instead of your man.

Hmph, they really have a face.

At the gate of the scientific expedition, I sent them in, but I met my grandfather, as well as his second uncle and second aunt.

The second uncle and second aunt came, he could understand, but this grandfather personally went out, which surprised him.

But it makes sense to think about it, the hope of the Shen family is Shen Mingze, his grandfather's mood, he can understand.

The two families met and said hello.

His grandfather said: "I haven't seen my two granddaughters for a long time, today is just right, splendid brocade, how about accompanying my grandfather home for a meal?" ”

"What are the two girls eating with you? Go back and let Zhong Huai accompany you for two days. "The Shen family has many daughters, and the old man doesn't care about female dolls, but he likes several little nephews of the Zhong family.

The two elder brothers are not at home, and there is only one Zhong Huai left in the family.

The old man glared at his daughter and said, "Jinxin Jinxiu is also my granddaughter, if you don't want to go back, go back to your Zhong Mansion." ”

This is said seriously, how dare Shen Ruju be disobedient.

She explained to the third room concubine, and got into the carriage of the Shen family.

When they arrived at the Shen family, the old man called the three of them to the study, looking serious.

Zhong Jinxiu guessed that his cousin's injury was discovered, so he came to ask for the guilt.

She is ready to be scolded, just wait for a while, what the old man says is what she is, and she will never resist.

Shen Ruju rarely had the opportunity to be like a study before.

"Dad, you weren't allowed to come in this study in the past."

The old man snorted lightly, and then looked at Zhong Jinxiu, it was a face that looked like her mother, her eyes were elegant and demure, but there was a trace of stubborn ripples, which was a combination of her daughter and son-in-law.

It's a pity that her daughter went early, and the second daughter is useless, and she doesn't know it.

Although he regretted it in his heart, after all, he was someone else's child, and the old lady of the Zhong family was a rule-abiding person, so naturally he would not let her come to the Zhong Mansion to raise her, and her aunt was there.

It's all sin.

"Jinxiu, were you with your cousin the day before yesterday?"

"yes, yes."

Shen Ruju was stunned in her heart, could it be that her father found something and wanted to stop them?

She didn't know how the two men met, but she explained:

"Father, these two children may have met on the road."

Her father glared at her, she had always been timid, because she was a concubine, she was timid and cowardly, and her father didn't like her, but her mother was kind and kept her by her side and her eldest sister as a companion.

The old man didn't think there was anything, but when he saw his daughter's weak heart, he seemed to know and planned to do so.

hum

His good grandson is going to marry the princess in the future, although Jinxiu's identity is heavy enough, but her temperament?

It's just not suitable.

After all, it is his granddaughter, but it is only limited to his granddaughter, and he does not praise anything.

"Ruju, do you know what Ming Ze means to the Shen family? His future daughter-in-law must be a Qingliu family, knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous. ”

Shen Ruju hurriedly explained for Jinxiu: "Jinxiu is very knowledgeable..... Jinxin is also proficient in everything about piano and chess. ”

Finally, Zhong Jinxiu realized what the two were discussing.

She felt a little flustered.

She and her cousin have no personal relationship, only brother and sister affection.

She stopped her aunt and responded, "Grandfather, there is no need to worry about what you are worried about. ”

"Jinxiu, don't talk nonsense, this daughter's family affairs are all the words of the matchmaker on the orders of her parents, and you have nothing to do." She turned to her father and said, "Father, I want to ask my second brother about this." ”

He didn't believe that his own brother would dislike her girl.

"That's what your second brother asked me to ask you."

"How is that possible? Second brother he... I'm his own sister. ”

At this time, the door of the study was opened from the outside, and her second aunt pulled his second uncle in.

"Little sister, you don't have to ask your brother about this matter, let's make this matter clear, what is the reputation of Jinxiu, you know very well, for no reason, let my son pick up someone else who doesn't want it, I don't know if this chastity is not there."

Zhong Jinxiu heard her relatives talk about herself like this, if she said that there were no waves in her heart, it was false. And the second aunt's calligraphy and painting are very ugly, but she is not a three-year-old child, so she can naturally control her temper.

"Second sister-in-law, please be cautious, why is there no chastity in my family's splendid scenery, you are full of filth, how can you be an elder."

"If she doesn't think about my son, I'll still treat her as my good niece."

"You ......"

Zhong Jinxiu sighed secretly, pulled her aunt behind her, and motioned for Jinxin to look at her mother.

She looked at her second aunt, bowed, and said, "What you are worried about will not happen, don't be suspicious." ”

Yin looked at her and denied it, and he was even more ashamed in his heart.

Dare not do it, the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, is this kind of style?

"Isn't my son's injuries because of you?"

So that's what happened.

It's been half a month, and I only know at this time, it seems that my cousin is hiding it very well, and my aunt is in trouble at this moment, because my cousin will try and won't find out.

After all, it was the trouble she caused, and now it affects the family, which really shouldn't be.

Zhong Jinxiu affirmed again: "Second uncle, second aunt, I don't have this idea for the cousin of the Shen family. ”

"Do you dare to swear?"

Hearing the words of swearing, she wanted to laugh inexplicably.

Her second aunt really didn't like her.

"Second aunt, it's useless to swear or not. If you attack me today, it is also reckless. If I hold back my bad intentions and want me to be your niece, I'm afraid I will want to hold on to him and make you helpless. ”

"You ......." The girl in front of her looked calm, her eyebrows and eyes were open, and she was in a trance that what she said just now was not a threat.

Hmph, a shameless woman who courted the prince shamelessly, and she didn't repent, her little sister really raised people and abolished them.

She looked at her little sister and reproached:

"Little sister, I used to think you were cowardly, but now... Look at what you have taught your children to be, shamelessly hooking up with the prince on the street, but now you still don't repent, you are worthy of the dead eldest sister..."

When Shen Ruju heard her mention her eldest sister, she felt a burst of guilt in her heart.

"Jinxiu has already worshipped Mrs. Liang as a teacher, and it will be fine soon."

"Hmph, my son's injury was caused by her in Liang Mansion, the country is easy to change and difficult to change, if you don't discipline well, don't blame me for not wanting her, even if it is an ordinary person, I will never dare to ask her."

"It's time to talk about your mother-in-law's family, if you don't teach her, you'll hurt her."

"It was all instigated by those people in the house, and now I'm ......"

Zhong Jinxiu gave Zhong Jinxin a look, Zhong Jinxin understood, pulled her mother back, and said, "Mother, what are you anxious about?" The eldest sister and the cousin of the Shen family have absolutely no filth, and in the Liang family, it was the lord of Nalan County who made it bad, which hurt the cousin, what does it have to do with the eldest sister. The second aunt didn't know who she had believing, and she had added dirt to the eldest sister. ”

"Filth? Why is my son and her dirty, you don't inquire, no one will say that my son is good. ”

Zhong Jinxin said with a smile: "The second aunt is serious, and my cousin is good, but not everyone in my Zhong family can slander the woman." I was also there that day, and the events of that day were definitely not my eldest sister's fault, if you don't believe me, you can also go to Shen's house to ask, maybe it's my eldest cousin's house to ask, my eldest sister is Mrs. Liang's favorite student, and she can't let you be insulted like this. ”

Zhong Jinxiu listened to her words and immediately smiled.

The third sister is really raised by the old lady's side, and this style of speech has the appearance of an old lady.

Look at how beautiful it is.

She thought for a moment and said:

"Second uncle, we are relatives, and some words are said to hurt people, but I naturally don't care about the elders."

"I have already said that my cousin and the Shen family are absolutely selfless, and I also mentioned your recklessness in this matter, and I hope that the second aunt will encounter these things in the future, don't be reckless, and give others a chance to take advantage of it."

The second aunt's face was blue, and Zhong Jinxin grabbed her mother and didn't let her mother speak.

It's better not to say it.

Besides, she has appreciated her eldest sister's rhetoric, and she will definitely be able to deal with it.

Zhong Jinxiu saluted her grandfather and said, "Grandfather, my aunt is the daughter of the Shen family, and it is understandable that she was interrogated by her family. But I am the concubine of the Zhong Guo family. And to put it mildly, the second uncle is just the son of the Shen family, the identity of the cousin of the Shen family...... If his father is here, he is afraid that he will also feel that the cousin of the Shen family will not be able to climb my Zhong family. What do you say? ”

This spoke to the old man's pain.

The old man is also a pity in his heart, the eldest son is talented but has no intention of being with the government, and he is depressed. Although the concubine has some achievements, he is only an idle position.

What's even more incomprehensible is that the Shen family only has one man, Shen Mingze.

The son of the concubine, the identity is naturally not high.

This is an indisputable fact.

However, when Yin saw that the two nieces were taking turns to squeeze themselves, they were unhappy in their hearts, and said angrily:

"You... Glib tongue. ”

Xiao Shen wanted to persuade Jinxiu not to disobey his elders, but when he remembered that his second sister-in-law had just preached herself, she was depressed in her heart, and naturally wanted to stop her.

Watching his daughter preach to her second sister-in-law speechless, she suddenly felt happy.

However, when he saw his father glaring at him, he hurriedly put away his smug face and lowered his head.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Today's situation is like this, it's really not what we want, grandfather, it seems that you didn't really invite us to dinner, so we won't stay." As for the cousin... Wait for my cousin to come back and ask for himself, he doesn't like a woman like me. ”
