To bask in the sun, you have to go on the main road. Sure enough, when he went out, the sun slowly dispersed the daylight, but the speed of this daylight integration was not as slow as usual, Zhong Xiaoxin took the ginkgo biloba from Qiluo Courtyard to Chaoyang Courtyard, and felt that it was only a dozen pieces, which was much different from the hundreds and thousands of pieces that attracted the essence of the moon yesterday, and I hated to have to smash the whole moon down.

Zhong Xiaoxin just walked around and walked into the courtyard of the second wife. Yahuan quickly led her in, it seems that the second wife, the stepmother, no matter what she looks like inside, is very face-saving for her daughter-in-law.

Entering the door, a few polite words to each other, the content of which is nothing more than how are you?fine thank and you?I'm fine too and the like.?After these few sentences, it was cold, who made the two people unfamiliar with it, no matter how good the relationship was for more than ten years, there would be nothing to say, not to mention that the two people were really strangers who had not met a few times. However, although it was cold, in the end, one was intended to please and the other was willing to show favor, and soon both of them came up with new topics.

"Your father is back, and you'll see him later. ”

"Mother, this pastry smells so good. ”

The two men said in unison. And then cold field.

After another two seconds, they said again: "If you like it, take it back." ”

"I wonder when my father came back?"

It's annoying, some people have nothing to do with feelings, and they are born to not get along, such as daughters and steprooms.

But in the end, both parties have the intention to get along with each other, and Xiao Shen continued to talk about the topic of food.

"Your father came back in the afternoon, dinner should be used here, if you are better, why don't you come here together, it is also a family banquet in our second room." I don't use much of this pastry, so if you like it, you can take it home with you. Xiao Shen said.

Zhong Xiaoxin's reason for not seeing outsiders over the years is that she is not in good health, but after such a thing as the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Shen didn't dare to let her go on so "unwell" anymore, in case the outside said that her stepmother treated her daughter harshly, since she wanted to promote her, she had to show her more in front of people and show outsiders how this stepmother and stepmother got along in harmony.

Zhong Xiaoxin also nodded, now in order to activate this immortal cultivation system, she has to find something to do by herself, what better exercise than actively participating in the infighting of this mansion. "If it's convenient for my mother, I'll come, I haven't seen my father for so long that I've forgotten what my father looks like. Zhong Xiaoxin said, and said. "The pastries in my mother's room were delicious, I ate one yesterday, I've never heard anything so good. ”

Xiao Shen frowned, how did the meaning of these words sound like a little blaming her stepmother for dominating her husband? Or does it imply that she doesn't take good care of her? But looking at the past, Zhong Xiaoxin didn't mean this, but stared at the teacup on the side of the pastry plate, her eyes didn't flash.

Xiao Shen understood in her heart that this was the little girl's hesitation to take the opportunity to sue her. What happened in Qiluo Courtyard was not big or small, Xiao Shen relied on her mother-in-law to be an aunt, and her eyeliner in the second room was also like a net, thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask softly: "Looking at Sister Xin'er's appearance, do you like the color of this teacup?" She guided Zhong Xiaoxin to tell her grievances, she didn't mind supporting Zhong Xiaoxin, and didn't let the family get any benefits, how could people be at her mercy.

"Uh-huh...... I just think it......" Zhong Xiaoxin looked up at Xiao Shen, lowered her head and whispered: "I think this flower is so beautiful, I haven't seen it, it's like the new dress that the fifth sister is wearing today." ”

When Xiao Shen heard this, she understood in her heart that this girl was not going to sue as she originally thought, but to take the opportunity to ask for benefits.

Xiao Shen looked Zhong Xiaoxin up and down, Zhong Xiaoxin is 14 years old this year, she is the oldest girl in the house, and this age is also the time to draw one, but the clothes Zhong Xiaoxin wears are very thin, the cuffs and hems of the clothes are wide like a palm, and the primary color of the clothes does not match very well, it is obvious that this is a small dress that has been worn a long time ago, but firstly, Zhong Xiaoxin's clothes are light-colored cotton, and the sides are larger and not conspicuous, and secondly, Zhong Xiaoxin looks beautiful, that is, no matter what clothes she wears, she also feels good-looking, so Zhong Xiaoxin came in for a while, Xiao Shen really didn't notice that her clothes were too shabby and did not fit。

"It turns out that Sister Xin likes this style of camellias, and I will ask the needlework room to do it another day. Speaking of which, our Sister Xin is also a big girl, and it's time to dress up. Xiao Shen said, the post from the second miss was also sent to the third lady, the third miss just came to ask for new clothes, Zhong Xiaoxin is the young lady in the second room, and it is not easy to say whose face is worn in tattered clothes when she goes to the banquet.

Zhong Xiaoxin nodded with a red face and said, "Thank you mother, I don't dare to let my mother break the bank, I just ...... As long as you have the right clothes the day after tomorrow, your mother is kind, and there will definitely be good rewards. ”

Xiao Shen was not uncommon with her two good words, but after listening to Zhong Xiaoxin's words, her heart suddenly jumped. Compassion will be rewarded...... Isn't that the implication...... The unsympathetic Mrs. Bai, who is in charge of the whole house but lets her niece wear old clothes and use a broken teacup, will have evil retribution. Xiao Shen looked at Zhong Xiaoxin, Zhong Xiaoxin's face was guilty and grateful, and his eyes were clear, not like he meant anything else, but Xiao Shen remembered what Zhong Xiaoxin said when he left the last time.

The two words are all of the same meaning, saying that the Bai family is not virtuous, or it may just be Zhong Xiaoxin's own memory of the big house, but I can't help but not think about it too much, the words of the old Yuan Zong of the Zhong family are still in my ears, "If the successor is not virtuous, it will be abolished, and another virtuous person will be chosen to live there." Over the years, the Zhong clan has been desperately trying to find trouble with their Hou Mansion, isn't it just to catch them a little argument without virtue?

If there is no virtue in the Hou Mansion, another virtuous person will be selected, but if it is only a big house without virtue...... Isn't the second room also able to inherit the title......? In the past, because the Shen family was married to a concubine, she never thought about earning the title, but thinking about it on the other hand, as the niece of the old Shen family, the second room now has the blood of Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, which is not bad for the big house.

Xiao Shen didn't realize that he was thinking too much by accident, and he didn't feel that Zhong Xiaoxin had already stood up and retired, it was Mrs. Shen who called her lightly from behind to change her mind back. Seeing Zhong Xiaoxin standing with an embarrassed face, he seemed to think that Xiao Shen's distraction at that moment just now was because he didn't want to deal with people, so he looked a little unable to advance or retreat.

Shen Shi took a deep look at Zhong Xiaoxin a few times, is it really the provocation in this stepdaughter's words? Or is he really thinking too much? Xiao Shen smiled and asked Mrs. Shen to send Zhong Xiaoxin out, just as Chuncao picked out the tea set, which should have been sent to Zhong Xiaoxin, but since the person had already come, he handed it over to Ginkgo biloba, in addition to the tea set, the second wife took out two muslins, a pair of cat's eye earrings and a few silk flowers, Zhong Xiaoxin was moved by a thousand thanks, and packed the plate of pastries on the table just now with the second wife, and then took the ginkgo biloba and walked back slowly.

Once again, I will walk a road to the old world.
