She first sharpened the paint, and asked unhurriedly: "The third sister wants to change it?" ”

Zhong Jinxin said: "You came here, does grandmother know?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu knew what she meant, so she said: "Where I go, she can still tie me up." ”

"You ......"

"Don't worry, grandmother is visiting today, I'm afraid she won't remember me coming."

"Huh?"

"The Yang family is here."

The person who came to tell the second young master that the matchmaker was here, and this action was fast enough.

Thinking that Zhong Ming's marriage was decided, and it was still Qinghe Nie's, some people began to have bad ideas.

The girl of the Qinghe Nie clan is gentle and virtuous, and she is good at housekeeping.

The old lady is afraid that she has some calculations in her heart.

The royal marriage, the status is noble, and there will be the Qinghe Nie clan as the backing in the future, and it will definitely not be good to get along in the future.

As the marriage is getting closer and closer, the old lady is getting more and more anxious.

Zhong Jinxin frowned, looked at the eldest lady with a confident look and would be fine, and finally said, "Hmph, who cares about you." ”

Zhong Jinxiu laid out the things and began to ink.

But her mother had not come.

Her heart moved slightly, this means that there are already hills and valleys in her heart.

Sometimes she admires her too.

There was a pair of danqing hanging in Mrs. Liang's room, which was her handwriting, although she wondered who she had learned her painting skills from, but looking at her proud appearance, she didn't ask in the end.

Just stand by and help with the ink.

When she Xiao Shen came out, the painting was already finished.

Xiao Shen looked at the portrait and even guessed which clothes they were wearing, and was a little stunned, but when he saw the same appearance as them, he was suddenly surprised in his heart.

"When did the eldest lady's painting skills become so superb, and she looks no less than everyone's hands."

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "Auntie, do you believe in reincarnation?" ”

"Huh?"

"I studied in my last life, and I forgot to drink Meng Po soup in this life, so I remember the things of my previous life."

"You..." Xiao Shen originally thought she was joking, but looking at her face, her face was a little depressed, but her eyes were sharp, and the style of her body was in a trance, only the nobles in the palace had it, confident and noble, and had a slanted eye on the world.

It is very much like the queen mother in the palace.

Phew

She was thinking about something.

She focused on the painting, looked up at Zhong Jinxin, and stopped talking.

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I still have a place for the third sister." ”

Xiao Shen originally wanted to say that she wanted to draw one for your sister, but she guessed it before she could open her mouth, and she said excitedly: "Jinxin, you go quickly... Come to the front. ”

Zhong Jinxin looked sideways, but instead of going, he said, "Mother, eldest sister, she doesn't need it." ”

Zhong Jinxin stepped forward, stood still on the other side of the painting, and started to write.

Without self-confidence, she wouldn't dare.

But today is her mother's birthday, and she doesn't want to owe her.

For some reason, the better she is, the more impatient she becomes.

The more impatient she is, the more she can't see through her.

Looking at her mother's appearance, it seems that she doesn't know that she is so good, that is, she is hiding, so why not pretend now?

Aren't you afraid that your grandmother is staring at her?

Xiao Shen watched these two children painting each other, and his heart was moved, and his eyes were red.

Such wonderful people are all her daughters.

The pride was beyond words, but at this moment the maid beside the old lady came.

"Big lady, old lady, please come over."

"Well, did the old lady say anything?"

"It was said that Mrs. Xun used to discuss the matter of giving a dowry to the eldest young master."

When Xiao Shen heard this, this was a serious matter, and he hurriedly told them to draw slowly, and he passed.

After the portrait was painted, Zhong Jinxiu took a look, her aunt and Zhong Huai were in front, and she and Jinxin stood on the left and right, the corners of their mouths were lightly raised, confident and high-spirited, and the whole painting paper was full of harmony.

Zhong Jinxin looked very satisfied.

When the drawing paper was dry, Zhong Jinxiu folded the drawing paper and instructed: "Uncle Fu, send this to Grandpa Guo." ”

Zhong Fu was already staying next to her, she was very relieved to see that the eldest lady and the third lady were so good now, but it was a pity that Grandpa Guo couldn't see this harmony.

However, when he was feeling sorry for Grandpa Guo in his heart, the eldest lady actually asked him to send the painting abroad, the eldest lady was so filial, he was also moved in his heart, if Grandpa Guo received this gift, he would definitely cry.

After all, the eldest lady has always been the treasure in his heart.

"Come on, I'll go."

Zhong Jinxin asked, "This is not for... Her gift? Why did you give it to your father? ”

Isn't there some conspiracy on her part? Father has always liked her, and it is the kind of distraction that likes her, she and Zhong Huai are dispensable in her father's heart.

No matter what she does, she can't get half of her father's liking, and she frames herself and manipulates herself, and her father only believes her.

She even made her mother disliked by her father, and every time her father returned home, he would snatch him away from her mother.

Nothing but that.

What is she going to do this time?

The eldest brother's marriage is about to be decided, and her father will come back soon, what are she going to do when the time comes?

"She hasn't seen it yet?"

Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said: "This is my gift, Zhong Jinxin, you said that this painting was given to your father, would he be happy?" ”

Zhong Jinxin didn't know.

There were too many variables for her to be sure.

Uncle Fu said: "Grandpa Guo is naturally happy. This painting is a collaboration between the eldest lady and the third miss, and Grandpa Guo will be even happier when he sees the eldest lady and the third miss so good. ”

"And the eldest lady and the third lady are so harmonious, Grandpa Guo will definitely be very pleased, and when the time comes, all this is the credit of the stepwife, and the grandfather of the country is grateful for the merit of the step-lady in taking care of the eldest lady, and he will definitely treat the step-lady well."

Zhong Jinxin didn't believe these things, but he was in a trance.

However, if Zhong Jinxiu was in the past, she would not be so kind, but now, she really only has this one purpose, she is making up for her own mistakes.

Try your best to mend the relationship between my father and my aunt.

Zhong Fu went out to run errands, but soon her aunt returned, with a happy face, thinking that the old lady was telling her about the marriage of her eldest brother.

I should be ready to be hired.

"Then you two finish painting, put it in my room first, and I'll have someone frame it when I get back." As he spoke, he hurried out the door.

Zhong Jinxiu knew that the old lady was embarrassing her.

It didn't debunk it, her aunt should have learned something.

Zhong Jinxiu returned to the old lady's yard, the old lady was waiting for her in a trance, Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward to ask for peace, and without waiting for the old lady to reproach, she said: "Grandmother, I heard my aunt say that the eldest brother is getting married just now, did we agree?" ”

"Marriage from heaven, even if we don't want to, we must accept it."

Zhong Jinxiu frowned, and she said:

"Hmph, it would be nice if they took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage."

Voluntarily withdraw from the marriage? The old lady's eyebrows jumped slightly.

"What are the plans for Splendid Beauty?"

"Well, let's give less dowry, so that they will know our family's attitude and take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage."

Less dowry?

Old Madam Zhong did have such an idea in her mind just now, so she handed over the matter of giving the dowry to Xiao Shen.

In this way, if something happens, it will be Xiao Shen's responsibility.

Zhong Jinxiu pursed her lips, and just remembered it in a trance, but said regretfully: "This doesn't seem to be very good, if this matter is not related to the Heavenly Family, we do this, at most we will be coldly spoken by others, but this is a marriage from the Heavenly Family, if it is spread out, the Heavenly Family will definitely think that we are dissatisfied with the marriage of the Heavenly Family, and it is inevitable to invite your grandmother to enter the palace to ask for the guilt, grandmother, granddaughter just said it in passing, don't take it seriously." ”

She made a look of annoyance, and in a trance she had a bad idea.

"Grandmother, I'm going to keep an eye on my aunt, don't let her have an accident, lest you be responsible for entering the palace when the time comes."

With that, she left.

After she left, the more the old lady thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became.

The marriage of the heavenly family was originally full of glory. But she had given it to a step-lady, and if the queen had known about it, she would have rebuked her.

She could not afford to flout the imperial power.

"Mother Se, go and call Xiao Shen over, I have something to order."

Xiao Shen should have gone to Shen Mansion now, but he hadn't arrived yet, so he met Shen Mingze.

It was said that she was in a hurry, and she was going to take Shen Mingze to the Shen Mansion, but she was persuaded by Shen Mingze.

"Auntie, is there anything wrong with you going back?"

"It's not that your eldest cousin is getting married, and I don't have any experience here, so I'll go back and ask your mother, after all, our Shen Mansion has experience in doing happy events."

Go back to Shen Mansion and ask?

Is this going to take the Shen Mansion as an example?

Who in the world doesn't know that this Shen Mansion marries a daughter, marries a high-ranking family, or a low-door jinshi, and the dowry is average, and the dowry is naturally very small.

The old lady asked her to come back and ask, I'm afraid she has ulterior motives.

Shen Mingze thought for a while and said, "Auntie, just ask me, in the past few years, my sisters have been married, and I have been watching from the side." ”

"The dowry list and the dowry list were all drawn up by me."

Xiao Shen didn't believe it, but looking at his serious face, she didn't think it was fake, she half-believed and half-questioned: "Do you really understand?" ”

How could Shen Mingze not know?

He watched her sister get married, whether in this life or in the previous life, so he knew more than his father.

Of course, seeing that her aunt didn't believe it, she said, "Let's go, my nephew will help you prepare the gift list first, and you can take a look." ”

Shen Mingze went to the Zhong Mansion and met the old lady, and the old lady originally saw the little Shen family pulling Shen Mingze through the mansion, and her heart was settled.

Fortunately, I didn't go to the Shen Mansion, otherwise I would have lost my hair.

Zhong Jinxiu saw her cousin coming, but it was not the same as the old lady thought.

How could he come to the house for no reason?

The cousin is majestic in the court, and the affairs of Huainan are even more neat, without spending a penny from the treasury, and the treasury has not recovered the disaster money, which shows his strategy.

Although I have never seen him act with my own eyes, I think that the hundreds of thousands of refugees who came to him were easily appeased by him, and the disaster funds were successfully raised, and the center of this is afraid that only the parties concerned know.

However, Zhong Liang chose to stay in Huainan to be a Zhizhou, which was unexpected.

Could it be that my cousin plotted it?
