"Is this your cousin?" Old Madam Zhai squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Ruihua.

Bai Ruihua stepped forward to salute Mrs. Zhai, her voice was like a clear water lotus, with a weak and pitiful look: "Say hello to the old lady." ”

Mrs. Zhai doesn't like the third room, Bai Ruihua is the cousin of the daughter-in-law of the third room, so she naturally doesn't like it either.

It's just that in front of outsiders, Mrs. Zhai always has to behave.

She nodded lightly: "The old woman hasn't gone out to socialize for a long time, but she is a little unfamiliar." Lu, which family is your cousin's husband's family? ”

The relationship in the capital is intricate and intertwined, and when you talk about it in detail, almost all of them can be related to each other. Generally, when a woman is introduced, the husband's family is always mentioned.

As soon as Old Madam Zhai asked like this, Bai Ruihua's face turned slightly pale, but her eyes were a little red.

Lu hurriedly whispered beside him: "My cousin was lost when she was young, and her aunt found her by chance a few years ago. By the time I returned, I had already married in another country, and my cousin-in-law had died young. ”

It sounds like a story with a lot of twists and turns.

Old Madam Zhai is old, but she likes to listen to the twists and turns of this kind of fate, and when she heard that she moved, she became a little interested, and looked at Bai Ruihua: "Oh? It's a poor man. ”

According to Bai Ruihua's previous plan, it was time for her to tell a story of twists and turns to win the sympathy of Old Madam Zhai. But at this time, Jiang Baoqing, a person who knows her details, is here, and I don't know when her old background will be revealed, where does Bai Ruihua dare to make up any stories.

She swept Jiang Baoqing from the corner of her eye, Jiang Baoqing's expressionless appearance didn't look like she was planning to give her a fatal blow?!

Bai Ruihua's lips trembled slightly, but she only said with some difficulty: "...... It's all gone. ”

No more words.

Old Madam Zhai was slightly disappointed.

At this time, Gong Wan suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward, took Bai Ruihua's hand, and her face was full of pity: "At first, I saw that this sister of the Lu family was born with a beautiful appearance and a natural luxury, and I thought that she was born in this Zhongming Ding Food House when she was a child. When I heard the third sister-in-law say this, I was stunned...... Only then did I know that some people are phoenixes, even if they are in trouble, they are also phoenixes; And some people are just grass chickens, even if they fly on the branches, they can't become phoenixes! ”

This pointed to a very meaningful word, which made Jiang Qing and Liao Chunyu change their faces on the spot.

It's not that they rushed to take their seats, but because when Gong Wan spoke, she also glanced at Jiang Baoqing meaningfully!

Jiang Baoqing glanced at them soothingly, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: ignore her.

Although Old Madam Zhai didn't hear that Gong Wan was talking to Jiang Baoqing and them, she nodded with deep sympathy for the meaning of Gong Wan's words, so she felt a little more pity for Bai Ruihua.

She beckoned Bai Ruihua to step forward: "...... It's a poor good boy. ”

Bai Ruihua couldn't hold back the thumping in her heart, she wasn't stupid, she heard it, Old Madam Zhai didn't want to see Jiang Baoqing with this girl who looked like the Lu family introduced Zhonggong Wan!

The enemy of the enemy is the companion!

Bai Ruihua even had a desire to firmly win over Old Madam Zhai.

She hung her head forward, as if she was a little shy, and her eyes seemed to be full of admiration when she looked at Old Madam Zhai.

Old Madam Zhai is old, so she likes to look at the eyes of juniors, she is in a good mood, and shouts Yuecui.

Yuecui knew the machine and came up with a tray, and there were a few sachets on the tray.

When this elder sees a junior for the first time, he mostly wants to be rewarded. Mrs. Zhai is one of the two ancestors with the highest status in the Dingguo Marquis's mansion, when relatives and friends come to visit on weekdays, most of them have to come to greet Mrs. Zhai, she has a lot of sachets here all year round to reward juniors, which contain some small golden nudes in the style of plum blossoms in the house.

It's just that at Bai Ruihua's age, it is a little unsightly to receive a golden nude.

Old Madam Zhai glanced at the sachet filled with plum blossom gold nude in the tray, paused, but was not ambiguous, and directly took off a jade jade bracelet from her wrist and pressed it into Bai Ruihua's hand: "It's a poor child, take it." ”

Bai Ruihua was a little dazed.

Her mother's grandfather, because of his good errands, was promoted from the fourth rank official to the third grade three years ago, and in the past six months, he has been promoted to the third grade because of his ability to do a good job, coupled with his years of experience.

However, even if it is a three-grade house, such a jade bracelet with a good water head, it is usually the bottom of the box, and it will not be worn out until important occasions.

Like today, when she came to Dingguohou's Mansion to see the Lu family, her mother gave her a hairpin inlaid with a piece of jade to support the scene.

But the jadeite on the hairpin is too far from the jadeite bracelet that seems to flow in water!

With such a good jade bracelet, Mrs. Zhai actually rewarded people casually!

Bai Ruihua's heartbeat roared, and her mind was a little wooden, watching Gong Wan help her put the jade bracelet on her wrist. The white skin and the emerald jade almost dazzled Bai Ruihua's eyes.

She finally realized a problem now:

Jiang Baoqing, how can you marry such a good family?!

Gong Wan covered her mouth and shouted softly: "Oh, grandmother, it seems that you really like the sister of the Lu family, I have been staring at this bracelet for a long time, just waiting for your old man to look at me one day and reward me." ”

Old Madam Zhai was amused and laughed: "You girl, how many good things I have here have been taken away by you, not enough?" ”

Bai Ruihua was a little embarrassed, so she had to take off the jade bracelet from her wrist and give it to Gong Wan.

Gong Wan held down Bai Ruihua's hand and turned around and smiled with Old Madam Zhai: "Grandmother, you see, how real the sister of the Lu family is, I just said it so casually, she will give it to me." She turned back to look at Bai Ruihua and smiled, the intimacy in her eyes was very obvious, "Sister Lu, you are so good, but I am joking, you don't have to take it seriously." ”

Bai Ruihua smiled reluctantly, and she couldn't see Gong Wan's overtures, but at this moment, she was jealous of Jiang Baoqing because of this jade bracelet, which was burning her uncomfortable, and her mind was in a mess, where could she care about being close to Gong Wantao.

gave Bai Ruihua a jade bracelet with an excellent water head, and when Jiang Qing and Liao Chunyu, who also met for the first time, they became ordinary sachets containing plum blossom gold nudes.

Jiang Qing and Liao Chunyu did not have a look of loss on their faces, they thanked Mrs. Zhai generously, took the sachet and retreated, and handed it to Qingzhang who followed behind them.

Gong Wan had already taken Bai Ruihua's arm at this time, watching Jiang Qing and Liao Chunyu hand the sachet to the accompanying maid, but there was no uncomfortable look on her face, and a haze flashed in her eyes.

What a pretend!

She didn't believe it, this difference was so obvious, Jiang Baoqing's family didn't feel uncomfortable!
