"Yes," Hongxuan pursed her lips, trying to see a hint from Cheng Jin's face, but she didn't see anything, so she boldly said, "The slave just thinks that we are not short of that money, why ......"

After all, Cheng Jin is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, where can she afford to buy those books, she prefers to borrow books from Cheng Mingqi, such a small family, even if she is not stupid now, when she arrives in the school, she is afraid that she will be laughed at.

"If you can save it, save the money to buy books, and wait for the fifteenth day to go to the market of Dajue Temple to buy shortbread to eat, isn't it?" Cheng Jin didn't seem to hear the disapproval in Hongxuan's words, and still smiled gently.

Could it be that Miss Houfu is still short of money to buy shortbread? Hongxuan didn't think so, she only felt that Cheng Jin was more difficult to serve now than when she was stupid before, she couldn't figure out Cheng Jin's current temperament, and tried a few more words, but smashed it on the soft cotton with a punch.

Qingping took the book from Cheng Mingqi, didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately presented the book to Cheng Jin, who was still enjoying the flowers in the garden-

"Thousand Character Essays", "Thousand Family Poems", "Hundred Family Names", and a book of "Cheng's Selected Essays" compiled by gentlemen in ethnography.

"It looks familiar, and the eldest sister seems to have read it to me." Cheng Jin casually flipped through four books that had been used for some time, but were carefully kept intact, and seeing words was like seeing people, just looking at Cheng Mingqi's rigorous and serious handwriting, he knew his temperament.

"The big girl will read these books to you whenever she is free, do you remember the word cards she made for you?" Qingping said with a smile.

Cheng Jin nodded, "I can't remember it at that time, but fortunately, the eldest sister has a good temper." ”

Cheng Chan has not come back from the Zhuangzi of the Protector's Mansion now, and she really misses her a little.

Hongxuan pursed her lips, where is the eldest girl with a good temper, but she is very patient with Cheng Jin.

"Hongxuan, you read this book to me." Cheng Jin handed the "Thousand Character Text" in his hand to Hongxuan.

Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Qingping, and saw that she was looking at her nose and nose, her nose and heart, looking like she had nothing to do with herself, so she had to grit her teeth and read it.

Red Silk is the same as Qingping, they are both the big girls around Cheng Jin, Qingping was originally Cheng Ran's personal maid, and Hong Silk was also deliberately trained by Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Ran, who can read and write and take care of family affairs.

The Hou Mansion is not deep, and big girls like them are common in other noble mansions, but they are only a handful in the Chengen Hou Mansion, if they serve other girls in the mansion, they will definitely be able to marry a good family and be a superior housekeeper, and they may even be favored by the master and become an aunt and ascend to the sky.

Hongxuan never thought that she would be pointed out to a fool like Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin clearly wanted to be in the Cheng family for the rest of his life, there was no future at all, now that Mrs. Cheng is in charge, she will naturally take care of it more, in the future, the sons will marry their daughters-in-law and take charge of the house, Cheng Jin is an old aunt who no one cares about, not to mention how sad it is that day.

Hongxuan is not as good as Qingping's solid-eyed fool, although she is not very old, she thinks far-reachingly, and she thinks about a good future for herself, although she can't make mistakes in serving Cheng Jin over the years, she can't be regarded as careless, and has been silently looking for opportunities.

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest girl in Cheng Jin's room had a similar mind before, but was rectified too badly by Mrs. Cheng, she would have climbed the high branches a long time ago.

Thinking of the big girl, Hong Xuan shuddered, that sister is also a high-minded and arrogant master, after all, no one is willing to serve a fool, so he sold it in front of Mrs. Cheng three or four times, and later Mrs. Cheng came out to ask Mrs. Cheng for her, Mrs. Cheng ostensibly agreed, and that night she said that she stole the property of the master's family, and after beating ten boards, she ordered someone to carry it out and sell it, and later I heard that it was still sold to that kind of pickled place.

Such a method can be called vicious, although Mrs. Cheng's subordinates who stay in the house on weekdays are not lenient, they have never been so vicious, but they are particularly ruthless in matters related to Cheng Jin.

Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng have always been at odds, but this is just a subordinate, and after squeezing Mrs. Cheng for a few days, they put this matter behind them, and the subordinates who served Cheng Jin, intimidated by Mrs. Cheng's thunderous methods, no longer dared to have two hearts in front of them.

Hongxuan has been looking for an opportunity all these years, but she has never clearly revealed her thoughts, but she didn't expect Cheng Jin's dementia to suddenly improve......

"What do you want? Look at you, you can read and hyphenate words normally, why can't you pronounce it smoothly today? Cheng Jin glanced at Hongxuan lazily, although he smiled, he brought a sense of oppression for no reason, "Qingping, you come to read." ”

Hongxuan was so remorseful that she almost bit off her tongue, now Cheng Jin is not a fool who is easy to fool, how did she get distracted in front of her, and stumbled and made mistakes several times.

She blushed, she usually prides herself on being smart and clever, and she can't look down on the dead-eyed Qingping, but after Cheng Jin got better, she made a few mistakes one after another, although Cheng Jin didn't show too obviously, but she could feel her dissatisfaction, and if it went on like this, she would not only be overpowered by Qingping, but maybe she would be expelled by Cheng Jin.

Qingping read word by word very carefully, Cheng Jin squinted her eyes, nodded again and again with her rhythm, Hongxuan showed her wit at this time, and asked the little maid to go back to the courtyard to bring the hot tea that had been warmed before, and personally held it to Cheng Jin and Qingping.

Qingping was about to finish reading the book, and she was feeling that her mouth was dry, and she received the tea handed by Hongxuan for the first time in so many years, and subconsciously glanced at Cheng Jin.

"Drink some tea to moisten your throat." Cheng Jin smiled, "Hongxuan, you continue to read this book." ”

Hongxuan was overjoyed, and didn't dare to think about why Cheng Jin asked them to take turns to read here, holding the books and burying their heads in hard reading.

Qingping and Hongxuan are both twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, they are in the prime of their lives, their voices are crisp and beautiful, like gurgling water, and like a warbler's cry, Cheng Jin is comfortable and physically comfortable, until the voices of both of them are a little hoarse, she waved her hand, "Let's read here today, Hongxuan, you go and return these books to Ah Qi." ”

The two big girls were stunned and looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Girl, won't you watch it for a few more days?"

"No need, I've already written down these books," Cheng Jin waved his hand, "You can read this "Cheng's Selected Essays" to me in the past few days, and you will return it after reading it." ”

Whether it is Qingping or Hongxuan, they are all shocked, their girls are "unforgettable"?

The master who served changed from a fool to a genius overnight, and no one could accept it, so the first reaction of the two was not to believe it.

Qingping remembered that Cheng Jin had said to Cheng Mingyuan and Cheng Mingqi that Cheng Qian had taught her in the past, and she was able to vaguely remember it, and she believed it seven or eight points in her heart.
