Only then did Zhou understand what Lu meant and breathed a sigh of relief, but there was something he couldn't understand.

"Why didn't she say it directly?"

He Bingjiu immersed himself in officialdom, thought about it for a while, and understood her intentions, and snorted coldly: "This woman is very cunning. ”

Zhou asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's just a little thing that calls me back." He Bing glared at his wife, didn't want to answer, stood up and was about to leave, but was pulled by Zhou's arm.

Zhou Shi Jiao: "Master, what do you mean?" After speaking, his face turned red, and he suspected that he had been taken on by something, and why did he learn his daughter for some reason

He Bing saw that his wife was a rare coquette, although it was a little awkward, it was still a little cute, and sat down again.

took a sip of tea before saying, "Will you agree to her direct intention when she expresses her intentions?" ”

Zhou was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully: Lu Wei is the mud that sticks on the wall, and the concubines of He Mansion are all Gao Pan, if it weren't for his sister being favored by Zhizhou's side, who could look at him and Lu Shi more, and how dare Xiao think about He Fu's daughter. If the Lu family directly expressed her intentions, she would probably still refuse politely, even if she finally agreed, she would have to put up a good shelf and marry a concubine. But now, with the previous fright, I feel that Lu's proposal is not all for nothing.

Zhou is not a stupid person, but he was excited in front of him, and his mood fluctuated, and he didn't expect it for a while, but after being prompted by his husband, he immediately figured it out.

Thinking of Lu's hateful face, Zhou took the handkerchief as her and pulled hard, regardless of He Bing's side, she began to complain: "This hateful woman's heart is too big, who does she think his brother is, and she still wants to marry the daughter of the official family......"

He Bing frowned and got up again, "I'll talk about it when I have time, I still have something to do." ”

The stone fell to the ground in his heart, and Zhou was in a good mood and sent out of the yard diligently.

As for Lu's matter, Zhou snorted coldly, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, she had to inquire first. If she was happy, even if it was a concubine, she wouldn't even think about it. If it was because of this, wouldn't it be like picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, she would never compromise on the harmful things of Master Yu. If everything is normal, then let's wait until the end of the New Year, the girl is still a little younger.

There are only two marriageable ladies in He Fu, He Shuyun has already made a marriage, He Xingzhu is a concubine who will celebrate her birthday next year, and then row down, that is the thirteen-year-old He Xinmu.

Zhou and He Bing both knew this, but neither of them said it clearly.

******

He Xinmu yawned, wiped away his tears, saw the ink spots rendered on the paper, shook his head and changed again.

Since entering the New Year, Mrs. Liu has also been busy with her own affairs and no longer comes to teach. The ladies stopped their homework, but they were assigned a lot of homework, He Xinmu had already finished writing today, but he was still practicing words tirelessly.

Then suddenly there was a sneeze.

I didn't know that she was being remembered, but she just caught a cold at night.

These days, she would sneak out of the house every night, climb over the courtyard wall, and go to the garden to practice martial arts.

It's just that martial arts can't be achieved overnight, her current physique is much worse than before, and her progress is slow.

But it's not useless, at least it's getting easier and easier to climb the wall, and you won't take two steps and gasp.

Twisting his somewhat sour hand, He Xinmu put down his pen, found a piece that he thought was the best written, folded it and put it in a sachet, and wore it on his body as a souvenir.

The sachet was embroidered to her by Qingyin, she was full of praise for Qingyin's embroidery skills at the time, and later handed over the embroidery homework arranged by Zheng Xiuniang to Qingyin, so that she deliberately embroidered ugly.

As a result, Zheng Xiuniang still saw at a glance that it was not her, and she didn't say a word in front of her, but turned her head and gave a light tone.

She had to do it herself.

Picking up the half-embroidered plum blossom, He Xinmu's face was full of black lines, if she didn't say it, who could see what it was.

Imagine the cloth silk as the face of the eldest sister, twist the needle and stab it upward.

is thinking about tying the eldest sister into a hornet's nest with great interest.

At this time, Xiao Luo lifted the curtain, only revealing a face, and said: "Zheng Xiuniang is here." ”

Although Xiao Luo wants to avoid her, she is always the girl in her house.

When it was her turn to be on duty, she had to be on duty, and she couldn't escape at all, and now she was only willing to wait outside.

He Xinmu was surprised, tomorrow is the day to check the embroidery, Zheng Xiuniang is so busy how can she have time to chat with her, is she busy remembering the wrong day, and treating tomorrow as today.

threw the plum blossom on the bed, who couldn't see what it was, and said to Xiaoluo, "Let her in." ”

got up to greet him, hugged Zheng Xiuniang's arm and coquettishly: "Why did you come here today, I haven't embroidered yet." ”

Coquettish learned from He Xingzhu.

Once she saw that the second sister had made her wife angry, but the second sister hugged her arm and shouted in a soft voice: "Mother, Xingzhu knows that she is wrong, she doesn't dare anymore, don't be angry." ”

She somehow got goosebumps when she saw it, and immediately looked around to make sure that there were no dangerous people, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ben was still with a straight face, but when she saw this, she just nodded her second sister's forehead and scolded: "You girl, how old you are and you are still coquettish with your mother, you are not ashamed." After saying that, it has turned cloudy to sunny.

He Xinmu was amazed, and thought that this trick was so easy to use.

was worried that Zheng Xiuniang would see her half-embroidered ugly things and reprimand her, so she learned from her second sister.

Zheng Xiuniang was taken aback by the strange behavior of the third lady.

Third Miss: This is ...... Coquetry?

After coming back to his senses, he said, "The third lady has tormented me, I just want to talk to you today, and I don't mean anything else." ”

Xiaoluo came in with tea, but Zheng Xiuniang stopped talking.

After Xiao Luo poured the tea and retreated, she spoke again and asked softly, "Third Miss, have you offended Madame?" ”

He Xinmu was surprised, there is such a thing?

Looking back these days, I said hello on time every day, never said anything beyond the norm, and never did anything beyond the norm, neither offended the eldest sister nor the second brother. When Madame saw her this morning, she still didn't pay much attention to her as usual, so what kind of anger did she have?

After thinking about it carefully, He Xinmu shook his head at Zheng Xiuniang.

Zheng Xiuniang sighed: "Today, Miss Qingyuan came to me, saying that Mrs. asked me to meet her, I thought I had something to explain about the embroidery room, but Mrs. just asked about the embroidery room, and then said, 'How has the third lady studied recently?' I knew that this was what Madame wanted to ask you, but Miss Dao learned quite quickly, and if she taught a little longer, she would be able to return to her previous level. At these words, his face flushed slightly.

He Xinmu also coughed dryly, Zheng Xiuniang would still lie, but she didn't see it before.

Both of them knew that He Xinmu's only progress was that he didn't stick his hands.

He Xinmu knew that she was looking towards herself, and she was grateful.

Listen to her continue.

"As a result, the lady said, 'The third lady is smart and clever, and naturally learns quickly, and you are busy with the affairs of the embroidery room every day, and it is hard enough, so you don't have to worry about the affairs of the third lady anymore.'" Then he sent me away. ”

Does that mean there is no need to embroider anymore?

That's good news.

But some are reluctant to Zheng Xiuniang.

Zheng Xiuniang has been teaching her carefully and seriously, and she has some master-apprentice friendship, but when she thinks that no one will urge her to become a female celebrity, she is a little unaccustomed.

What does this mean, ma'am?

After sending Zheng Xiuniang away, He Xinmu lay on the couch and thought about it.

The only possibility is that the eldest sister sued.

The eldest sister came to her a few days ago, and when she saw the embroidery work she threw on the table, she laughed at it at that time, so she went to tell the lady as a joke......

Madame knew that her embroidery skills had not improved at all, so she decided to give up on her, so she asked Zheng Xiuniang not to teach her anymore.

Actually, it's okay, she's really not good at this......

Madam, don't even stop with Mrs. Liu's teaching.

It's not good to feel controlled by someone else.

But for her now, He Mansion is her only place to live, and it is the place where she lives.

When you leave here, all you can see is the end.

Holding your hands in front of you, this is a very beautiful pair of hands, delicate and soft, and has not experienced wind and frost.

Does she really want to use these hands to pick up the sword?

She hesitated all the time.

Become an ordinary daughter's family and be an ordinary lady.

That's what she had in mind when she first came here.

But gradually, she realized that it was not easy.

She was just a maiden, a person in a corner that was so humble that she could barely see it.

There is no brilliance of a concubine, no parents who love themselves, and no clever mouth that can speak.

So she didn't mean to throw away and regain martial arts, and this is what a normal daughter's family should do.

Compared with the comfortable life now, she wants the pleasure of "the world is big, let me walk".

And how long can the current comfort last?

He Xinmu thought of the eldest sister's marriage.

It was only in hindsight that she thought about it.

The eldest sister will please her wife, so she got this good-looking family business.

When it's her turn, will Madame find someone to shove her over?

When I think about it, I feel afraid that my fate is still in the hands of others and is not controlled by myself.

Imagine the possible life in the future, from one yard to another, from one pile of women to another. If she is just a wife, in case she unfortunately becomes a concubine, then she might as well die clean.

Who made her a concubine.

Who left her without strength.

He Xinmu once again felt sad for his weakness.

At this moment, He Xinmu made up her mind to step up her martial arts training, and if something happened that she couldn't control in the future, she could at least run away.

Just before she had the power to take control of herself......

He Xinmu silently thought: The old lady, the eldest sister and the second sister, and the messy women in He Mansion, you must not give me any moths now.

Don't waste any more time, jump up and continue to practice calligraphy.

In his previous life, he had deeply realized the dangers of illiteracy, and now he has put the practice of martial arts and the practice of calligraphy on an equal footing.

He Xinmu.

She wrote those three words over and over again.
