Chapter 26 She Has Become a Little Rich Woman

Tang He had already put away the feather fan in his hand at this time, with a respectful look on his face, although he sat down according to the words, he looked like he was ready to get up at any time to answer or accuse.

Xie Qiuyan on the other side also sat down according to his words, although he was generally respectful and cautious, but there was a kind of relaxed joy in his demeanor and behavior.

Although Fu Changxi returned to the Xishan Courtyard last night, he had no plans to meet people immediately. Instead, he sorted out the fragmentary memories that he had remembered, and determined who he could trust at the moment, and then asked the dark guard to take Tang He and the others. Xie Qiuyan called. Of course, the two of them had special identities and were very eye-catching, so Fu Changxi chose to see them at night.

Seeing the two sitting down, Fu Changxi just glanced at Tang He: "You should be able to guess that I haven't seen you until now, it was an accident."

Tang He nodded cautiously, feeling a little apprehensive but didn't dare to ask more.

Only Xie Qiuyan was still a little confused.

Fu Changxi thought about it for a while, but still told them something about his amnesia - he has only recovered limited memory now, and his words and actions must not be concealed from those close to him. , can also let people help cover one or two.

Moreover, whether it was Tang He or Xie Qiuyan, they all accompanied him to the fief at the beginning. At that time, the border was bitter and cold, and the northern barbarians sometimes disturbed the border. It was really not a good place. The confidant arm can be trusted.

When Fu Changxi said this, Tang He and Xie Qiuyan felt more relieved: Although the lord still couldn't remember many things, he was fine, and he still trusted them as before.

There is a lord like this, and the ministers are also grateful: the lord treats me with a state officer, and the state officer will repay it.

However, Fu Changxi's next sentence was: "The substitute in the ceremonial car should not be able to hide from the people in the palace, let alone the old foxes in the cabinet. So, how did you drag my affairs to the present?"

Xie Qiuyan turned to look at Tang He.

Everyone said that there are three thieves for one daughter, and they asked Tang He to say: "One Xie Qiuyan, three pits!"

Madd, you clearly said that if something goes wrong, we will carry it together. As a result, the prince will look at me when he asks, and the prince will definitely know that it is my idea!

Hurting me!

In his heart, he scolded Xie Qiuyan for being a jerk, but Tang He still didn't dare to neglect Fu Changxi's gaze.

Tang He had to answer honestly: "I have waited until the capital, but I haven't waited for the lord, so I have to call the lord first, and stay outside the city and not enter the capital."

"Naturally, if this is the case, it is true that there are still people in the palace in the palace." After a pause, he quietly glanced at Fu Changxi, and then said, "So, the minister sent people into the palace privately, saying that he was entrusted by the prince. I ordered to discuss with the cabinet and the Queen Mother about the welcome in the suburbs, and ordered His Majesty to personally go out of the city to welcome your uncle into the capital. The Queen Mother did not allow it, so she dismissed the proposal as it would hinder the dignity of the emperor. The matter of the prince entering the city was naturally delayed. ."

Even when Fu Changxi heard this, he had to say, "It's a good way, and you're very courageous."

Tang He: "...The lord passed the prize."

Fu Changxi raised his lips slightly and asked him, "Do you think I'm complimenting you?"

Tang He: "..."

Fu Changxi said lightly: "I'm afraid that now I'm facing the inside and outside, I'll only take this king as that ambitious and wicked traitor. Furthermore, the queen mother refuted the emperor's proposal to welcome Jiao, if this king just goes back like this, others will It's just that this king is guilty, and he bows his head to the queen mother. It's just that delaying the return to the city is not the way."

Tang He, Tang He, he didn't know what to say.

Finally, it was Fu Changxi who said, "Prepare a pen, I will write a letter to Sun Shoufu."

Tang He carefully looked at Fu Changxi's face, and said boldly, "You, do you still remember Sun Shoufu?"

Fu Changxi glanced at Tang He, his face expressionless: "...Go to the street to find an idler, and you can find out the current surname of the first assistant by inquiring. Moreover, when I left Beijing to go to the fief, Sun Qichang was already in the cabinet. , naturally know who this Sun Shoufu is."

Tang He hurriedly bowed his head: "This minister is stupid."

Saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Xie Qiuyan beside him who had been silent for a while.

Xie Qiuyan was stunned: "..." What do you see me doing? !

Tang He shook his feather fan, and he looked like a fox and tiger: "Why don't you hurry up and prepare a pen and paper for the lord? I want to tell the lord the current situation in detail and clarify the thoughts for the lord. You are the only one useless, and you don't know how to run errands? !"

"Why don't you know the slightest wink?!"

Xie Qiuyan: "..."

Mad, really want to strangle the Tang man directly.

*********

Early the next morning, before dawn, Father Zhen had to get up and prepare to go to court.

The husband and wife have a good relationship, and they have always slept together. Mrs. Pei didn't ask the girl to come in, and she personally served Zhen's father and put on the court clothes.

After washing up, the two couples had breakfast together, and the carriage was ready, so Mrs. Pei asked someone to pick out a lantern and take Father Zhen out in person. Father Zhen was told by Mrs. Pei last night. He didn't sleep well. At this time, he felt a little uneasy. He held his wife's hand and warned: "Mother and Sister Ting, you should be more careful."

Pei shi pushed him: "I see, hurry up, don't miss the hour."

Father Zhen sighed, and then went out to the car and went up to the court.

Mrs. Pei watched her husband leave, with a look of tiredness on her face. She led the maid and the old lady back to the main courtyard again, and asked the always-valued Mammy Bai to take out the list she had drawn up a few days ago and re-install the items. Click a little, pack it up, and send it to Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Tingyun later.

Thinking about the gift that Zhen Tingyun had mentioned yesterday, Mrs. Pei thought for a while, tapped on the list for Zhen Tingyun with her fingertips, and said, "Master said yesterday that he would give a box of gems, and then give it to Zhen Tingyun. I'll add two boxes of beads... Whether it's jewelry or a face, it's good for their little girl's family."

In the end, it is her own daughter, and Pei's is also willing.

After finally packing up and coming out, Mr. Pei thought that the little girl's body was rushing all the way again. Today, she had to sleep a little longer, so she crooked in the room for a while, and went later on purpose.

Unexpectedly, when she passed by at this time, Zhen Tingyun had already eaten breakfast and was sitting in front of the desk, calmly picking up his pen and practicing calligraphy.

Pei Shi looked at it, and couldn't help but think a little more, and secretly said, "Yes, how can Mrs. Zhen's temperament allow people to sleep late?" My daughter is used to getting up early. It's just that she is laying out paper and practicing calligraphy at the moment. don't know if she is really working hard or is it fake?

Thinking like this, Mrs. Pei still smiled, but she didn't call anyone, she just walked over and stood beside Zhen Tingyun to watch him practice calligraphy.

Zhen Tingyun didn't want to care about people. After all, when she was practicing calligraphy and reading, she was very focused, so even Mrs. Zhen wouldn't disturb her easily. It's just that Mr. Pei is standing beside him at this moment. Although he is silent, his presence cannot be ignored. Now, she doesn't have the determination to put her mother aside and concentrate on practicing calligraphy, so she can only stop the pen and smile at Mrs. Pei: "Mother, wait a moment, I'll ask someone to bring the water to clean your hands."

Liushun knew Zhen Tingyun's habit for a long time, and he quickly brought it up with water.

Zhen Tingyun quickly cleaned his hands, wiped it with a handkerchief, and wiped a little grease on his hands. Then he came up and helped Pei to sit down and asked with a smile, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mr. Pei sat down and didn't respond for a while.

Pei's eyesight was very good. He just stood on the side and looked at it, and he knew that Zhen Tingyun's handwriting was really good. Wei Bei's style is rare among boudoir women. Thinking about it again, Zhen Tingyun was raised under the lap of Mrs. Zhen since she was a child, and it was a small place in the countryside. It was a miracle that she could practice writing like this.

In particular, Zhen Tingyun put down his pen and cleaned his hands, laughed Yan Yan, and a series of movements were like running clouds and flowing water. He was calm, and he had the air of everyone.

Of course, this is due to Yuan Hui's credit. Although this person doesn't remember much, he is very particular about it. At first, he had one or two scruples. After Zhen Tingyun called "Mr." Food and so on are everywhere. Zhen Tingyun has always been by Yuan Hui's side these days, and he is someone who wants to learn.

Mr. Pei didn't know these things, but when he saw it, he inevitably had some complicated thoughts in his heart: This daughter seems to be a little different from what she imagined?

Fortunately, she has always been quick-witted, and she quickly concealed her complicated thoughts and said, "You child, you didn't ask us for a gift yesterday. As a mother, I naturally want to come here in person to bring I'll bring you something, and I'll talk to you along the way."

Zhen Tingyun just said it casually last night—mainly because she didn't have any expectations for her parents, siblings, or anything. Although she said it casually last night, she immediately forgot it after she slept for one night. Hearing Pei's talk at this moment, Zhen Tingyun felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, he said, "Thank you, mother."

In the end, she is her own daughter. Although she can't compare to Zhen Yiyun, who has been raised by her side since childhood, Pei's heart is not without feelings at all. Seeing that her daughter was so close to herself, she felt a little uncomfortable, and whispered: "Family, where do I need to say thank you?"

If it were Zhen Yiyun, I'm afraid he would have rushed forward and hugged Pei's arm and acted like a spoiled brat, but Zhen Tingyun still sat blankly, staring at her with wide eyes, as if waiting for her to speak.

Mrs Pei sighed in her heart, reached out and handed the list to Zhen Tingyun, let her look at it herself, and said, "It's mostly clothing and jewelry, all of which you can use now. Later, you Pick the fabric yourself first, and in the afternoon, a tailor and embroiderer will come to measure your size. It would be good to make a few more sets of clothes. But for the box of gems that your father gave me, I added two more boxes. Zhu, see for yourself, it's up to you whether you want to fight a few heads or do anything..."

Zhen Tingyun took the list and took a look at it, and knew that Mrs. Pei had really put her heart into it.

On this list, the clothing and jewelry are all new. As Mr. Pei said, they can be used now. I think they were specially prepared for Zhen Tingyun. There are also some valuable antique things that look good on the surface. Even if Father Zhen and Mrs. Pei didn't give those boxes of gemstone Dongzhu, these things would be worth hundreds of taels of silver. After all, the Zhen family is not a wealthy family who waits for "pearls like earth and gold like iron". They give their daughter a few hundred taels of silver as soon as they meet. Although they don't have such big things as Zhuangzi's shop, they are very generous.

While talking, Mrs. Pei called another mama and two girls to come up: "This is mama Lin, as well as Pinglan and Qiu Si. I'll stay by your side in the future."

Zhen Tingyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No need, I still have Liushun and Bazhen by my side."

Pei said with a smile: "Your grandmother is also inseparable, and the old man is nostalgic. If you are a junior, let it go and leave Bazhen Liushun to your grandmother? I will add these people to you here. Newcomer, in the future, there will be people around you who can talk, negotiate, and do things."

This is Pei's carefulness. After all, Mrs. Zhen has always been cunning. If she really wants to arrange many people to wait on her side, she may have to pick out many mistakes. It's better to keep these two girls by Mrs. Zhen's side, since Mrs. Zhen is used to it, she must be relieved. If she chooses an honest and careful nanny to watch in Mrs. Zhen's yard, nothing will happen if she thinks about it.

As for Zhen Tingyun, although she is the first time in Beijing at her age, she also wants to enter the social circle of girls of the same age in Beijing. There are always girls and maids who know the rules around to watch and teach, so that she can avoid being People take it lightly and make fewer mistakes.

Zhen Tingyun was not a fool. After thinking about it, he knew that these newcomers might not be as good as Liushun and Bazhen, but it was still very useful. What's more, it must be more useful for Liushun and Bazhen to stay by Mrs. Zhen's side.

Therefore, Zhen Tingyun only paused, and quickly nodded in response: "It's still my mother who thought it through, my daughter thanked her mother first."

Seeing Zhen Tingyun's response, Mrs. Pei was also very satisfied, she winked with the white mama beside her, and asked someone to bring a box of old mahogany painted with gold and handed it to Zhen Tingyun: "Accordingly, let's My girl's monthly schedule is 2 taels per month, and it's just you who came here, so I'll make up your monthly schedule for a year, so it's easier."

Zhen Tingyun opened the box, and if he saw the bright silver ingots inside, there were probably more than 20 taels, and he looked at the monthly cases for more than one year.

"Mother loves me so much, I don't know what to say." Looking at Yin Zi, Zhen Tingyun also smiled brightly, and stopped saying those false words of thanks and thank you, and said, "I have it here, but my grandmother will not have it. There will be a shortage. Presumably my mother will go to my grandmother to deliver something later, and I am also going to say hello to my grandmother, why don't we go together?"

The country pays attention to filial piety. Although Pei's heart has a grudge against the mother-in-law Zhen, she has to be respectful on the face, and she has to send something. Zhen Tingyun was thinking about Mrs. Zhen's cunning temper. If Mrs. Pei had to be scolded in the past, she might as well go along with her and make a round of it.

Pei Shi didn't expect Zhen Tingyun to say this, but she really didn't like dealing with Mrs. Zhen, so it would be good to bring her daughter with her at this time. So, Pei Shi smiled and nodded: "I have a heart."

The mother and daughter were not squeamish, they tidied up a little and went to Madam Zhen's yard together.

The old man was awake, and Mrs. Zhen woke up early, but after rushing for so many days, she was lazy when she woke up in the morning, so she lay down on the couch for a while before having breakfast.

Seeing Zhen Tingyun coming, Mrs. Zhen was also happy, but she didn't have a good face towards Pei's daughter-in-law.

Even Zhen Tingyun has to say that Mrs. Zhen, the mother-in-law, has been tricky - Mrs. Pei has the kindness of teaching and supporting Zhen's father. Put it like this. What's more, it's in Beijing now, and it's Pei's home court, so Mrs. Zhen won't get better if it goes on like this!

Therefore, Zhen Tingyun took the initiative to speak first: "Grandma, how did you sleep last night?"

Madam Zhen pouted: "It's normal." Then she pointed to the edge and said, "You all sit down too."

Zhen Tingyun helped Mrs. Pei to sit down first, then approached Mrs. Zhen and said with a smile, "Grandmother, you don't know, my mother has prepared a lot of clothing and jewelry for me. In the afternoon, the tailor will come to measure the size and make a new one for us. Clothes. I have seen them all, and they are all good things that I have never seen before. So, I came here with my mother shamelessly, and also to see the good things my mother prepared for my grandmother - you are the head of our family, Everything must be the best, but I have to open my eyes."

Hearing that Mrs. Pei was here to deliver something, Mrs. Zhen calmed down a bit, but she still said to her granddaughter, "You little girl, is it worth talking about a little thing like this?"

Zhen Tingyun said: "If my grandmother is not rare, then she will reward me, and I will also make a few more clothes."

How does that work? !

Madam Zhen was no longer holding her own, and scolded in her heart: What a girl and three thieves! Zhen Tingyun, the debt collector who ignored her, turned to ask Mrs. Pei, "What's the matter? Bring it to me and see?"

Mrs. Pei didn't expect Madam Zhen to be so good-natured and talkative today, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the things came up, they were more valuable than those of Zhen Tingyun, especially those jewelry were mostly gold and silver, so bright that they could brighten people's eyes—this is also because Mrs. Pei knew that Mrs. Zhen didn't like antique toys. , the only thing like is gold and silver, so have to buy it like this.

Sure enough, seeing this, Mrs. Zhen softened and smiled with Mrs. Pei: "You are really interested."

Pei hurriedly bowed her head and said politely, "Mother likes it."

Madam Zhen actually disliked Pei's fake appearance, but there was a Zhen Tingyun next to her - this debt collector was looking at things and muttering: "Grandmother, so many good things, you also reward me. a little bit?"

Pei Shi didn't listen to it, and said to her: "Sister Ting, how can you talk to your grandmother like this? These are all your grandmother's, and the style is not suitable for your little girl. If you like it, I will give it to you next time. Just add some."

Mother Zhen was originally unwilling to give things to her granddaughter, but when she heard Pei's words, she became interested. She reached out and flipped through the pile of gold and silver. The gold bracelet still felt a little heavy; I flipped down another pair of kotama pendants, worried that the price of jade was more expensive than gold; in the end, I just picked a gold ring and stuffed it in: "Okay, this is for you."

Zhen Tingyun smiled happily: 'I knew that my grandmother was a generous person and always loved me. "

In fact, old lady Zhen is stingy, she is still willing to give something to the younger generation after coaxing her to be stingy. Of course, it also means "you are filial and filial, and I will have good things for you in the future".

So, seeing that Zhen Tingyun got a ring, she was so happy, but she still had so many good things, she was also very satisfied and happy, and she raised her chin with a sense of superiority: "You are such a scumbag. Begging for something, what can I do with you..."

Only Mrs. Pei was not in the situation: "..."

I really don't understand why Zhen Tingyun asked for something from Mrs. Zhen, but Mrs. Zhen looked even happier?

Besides, isn't Mrs. Zhen always favoring sons over daughters? Why do you suddenly love Zhen Tingyun so much?

Mr. Pei maintained a dignified face, and reluctantly responded, "That's good."

Other than that, she didn't know what to say.

Because Zhen Tingyun made Mrs. Zhen happy, and there were so many things sent by Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Zhen didn't show any face to Mrs. Pei anymore, and left Mrs. Pei to sit for a while, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had tea. Eat snacks and say a few words, it is a harmony that has never been seen before.

If it wasn't for Zhen Tingyun, who was still thinking that he still had a few big characters that he hadn't finished practicing and that he didn't play the bamboo flute, he would have been unable to settle down, and he would have to go back after sitting for a while.

Mrs. Pei also got up and left, otherwise Mrs. Zhen said she would not have to stay with Mrs. Pei and Zhen Tingyun for lunch.

In fact, Madam Zhen really wanted to keep her little granddaughter by her side to say a few private words, mainly because she came to the capital for the first time. idea. But she also knew that her granddaughter was working very hard for the entrance examination for women's school. She was busy with studying every day, so she would have some time to spare in the evening.

Pei shi never thought that Mrs. Zhen had changed her temper now, and even less mean words today, and she didn't embarrass herself too much.

So much so that she was a little dazed when she and Zhen Tingyun left together.

When he came back to his senses, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but sigh, and said to Zhen Ting: "Your grandmother likes you so much, if you have time, talk to her more." In this way, there can be less things at home.

Zhen Tingyun replied with an obedient face: "I am a granddaughter, and I will be filial to my grandmother."

The daughter looked smart, it was better and more useful than she imagined, and Mrs. Pei liked it more. After thinking about it, she took off a string of tourmaline bracelets from her wrist and said with a smile, "This is your grandmother. What I gave to me at the beginning is not a very valuable thing, you can play with it. When the time comes, go to greet your grandmother and them, bring this, they will like it when they see it..."

In a few days, it will be the birthday of the third girl of the Pei family. Mrs. Pei wants to take sisters Zhen Yiyun and Zhen Tingyun with you, so that Zhen Tingyun can meet the elders of her grandfather's family. It's also a good intention to give the daughter "the origin".

Zhen Tingyun took it with a smile, and after counting all the things he got, he felt that he had made a small fortune.

It seems that this time in Beijing is not without benefits.

She has become a little rich woman.

********

Because he accompanied Mrs. Pei to Mrs. Zhen's yard, and after Zhen Tingyun went back to practice calligraphy, it was time for lunch after writing five large characters.

She had to leave the blow job at noon. In the afternoon, a tailor came to measure the size of the clothes, so when she finished her work in the afternoon and had dinner, it was already dark.

Zhen Tingyun didn't care about this: it's fine if you have something to eat, what does it matter if you eat early or late?

As a result, when she was eating, an unexpected guest happened to come: Zhen Yiyun.

Zhen Yiyun came back from the women's school. Although the women's school also has boarding students, most of the rooms are provided to female students from other places or poor families. Like Zhen Yiyun, most of them are day students.

She should have just finished school, and Zhen Yiyun was still wearing the blue and white tunic unique to Yuhua Girls' School, with a green silk tie around her waist. This dress is really not good-looking, but Zhen Yiyun is tall and slender, with a slender waist. It turns out that the Jingchai cloth skirt can't hide her beauty. Even if such a dress is worn on her, it is also beautiful and graceful.

Seeing the eldest sister coming, Zhen Tingyun had to stop his chopsticks, got up to greet him, and asked, "Why is the eldest sister here?"

Zhen Yiyun smiled and said softly, "The day after tomorrow will be the third cousin's birthday, and we will all go there. I just wanted to tell you about my grandfather's cousin..." This is Pei Shi told her about it last night, so she came today after the women's school, and it was also to show her love and kindness as the eldest sister.

Zhen Tingyun was really curious about this.

Although according to what Zhen Yiyun said in the dream, the eldest cousin Pei Rusong was the "original male protagonist" and her original good match, but she didn't know much about Pei Rusong or even the Pei family, and she was dubious in her heart.

However, since we are going to our grandfather's house, it is good to know the situation in advance and make some preparations...

So, Zhen Tingyun nodded his head: "Then I would like to thank Big Sister."

Zhen Yiyun looked gentle, and immediately sat down, laughing and telling Zhen Tingyun about the situation of the Pei family.

In fact, although the Pei family Ding is more prosperous than the Zhen family, it is not too complicated. Mrs. Pei married the wife of the Wei family, and the two sons and one daughter were both direct descendants; the eldest son Pei Chengliang, the second son Pei Chengcai, and the youngest daughter Pei Yuanjun. The eldest son has a son and a daughter, the eldest granddaughter Pei Rusong, and the third granddaughter Pei Mingzhu; the second son has three daughters and a son, the eldest granddaughter Pei Mingzhen, the second granddaughter Pei Mingya, the fourth granddaughter Pei Manli, and the second granddaughter Pei Li Ruzhen.

This time, it was the third girl, Pei Mingzhu, who had her birthday. Because she was the daughter of Pei's family, and she had an outstanding brother like Pei Rusong, she was more like Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Pei than the other cousins. Cheers, it's not easy to go wrong at this birthday banquet.

Zhen Yiyun has always been close to his grandfather's family, and he knows everyone's preferences. He suggested with a smile: "The third cousin especially loves jade. My sister can find some good quality jade ornaments to send. She will definitely love it."

Good quality jade ornaments are very expensive. Although Zhen Tingyun only got a small fortune, he didn't want to give it up. He just responded perfunctorily: "Well, then I'll think about it again."

Zhen Yiyun naturally knew that this younger sister had just arrived, so she didn't say much because she thought she was shy. After all, Mrs. Pei, a mother, will definitely prepare for the big gifts, and she will never lose her face. As for giving small gifts afterward, it is the affection between sisters. I also reminded my sister that I have done my duty as a sister. If Zhen Tingyun is still annoying people, it has nothing to do with me, it can only mean that Zhen Tingyun is stupid and clueless!

Yes, because of Pei's suggestion, Zhen Yiyun has already thought about it a lot.

The most invincible thing in this world is time.

When Zhen Tingyun accompanies a vulgar and stupid grandmother like Mrs. Zhen in the countryside, Zhen Yiyun is the jewel of Father Zhen and Pei's. She is beautiful and intelligent. Give birth to the feeling of "I don't care about being a man". Moreover, by virtue of her own prophetic knowledge of the plot, she managed to worship Mr. He as a teacher-Mr. He is also a famous talented woman in the world, even if she was there, Zhen Tingyun became famous in the capital because of her worshipping as her teacher. Opportunity.

However, since Zhen Tingyun had been left in the countryside by her, Mr. He and the famous talents in the capital naturally became Zhen Yiyun's possessions.

The most important thing is: people's feelings are all out of place, whether it is Zhen's father Pei or those from the grandfather's family, they must be closer to themselves than Zhen Tingyun's country.

In fact, Zhen Tingyun had already lost.

Thirteen years lost.

As Pei Shi said last night, "she can't compare to you no matter what, why should you care about this with her". Just like this time, I gave gifts to my third cousin for her birthday. Even if I told Zhen Tingyun's third cousin's preferences, wouldn't Zhen Tingyun still have money to buy jade ornaments? And Zhen Yiyun has reached the age, and she will have a wedding ceremony in February. In order to teach her to take care of the housework, Mrs. Pei has already divided her into a house and a shop, so she has a lot of living money on hand, so she can buy whatever she wants. What to buy, human relations are also very generous.

Therefore, Zhen Yiyun thought about it, and she was happy to be a good sister. After all, she had the advantage and could always suppress Zhen Tingyun.

I remember a famous person in a previous life once said: "Strategically despise the enemy, and tactically pay attention to the enemy."

...

Thinking like this, Zhen Yiyun's smile became more gentle, and she looked at Zhen Yiyun with watery eyes, and her voice was even softer: "My sister came here for the first time, I don't know, my mother specially chose to show my sister at the third cousin's birthday ceremony, also for the sake of For the sake of my sister. First, this is my grandfather's home, not an outsider. Even if something goes wrong, it can always be resolved. Even if it can't be resolved, it can help cover up the past; There will be many ladies in the capital at the banquet, and even the little princess of Yanwang’s mansion may also come, and then I will be introduced by my sister, and you will be able to meet some friends of the same age; the third thing..."

Having said this, Zhen Yiyun blinked and smiled softly: "My grandfather and grandmother are both very good people, even if the two aunts are generous, then you can get a lot of greetings for your sister."

This was a bit of a joke, but Zhen Tingyun was really careful when he heard it. Therefore, Zhen Tingyun looked grateful and happy, and said hurriedly, "Thanks to my big sister for telling me this, or else I'm still confused."

Woolen cloth. "

Zhen Yiyun sat for a while before getting up to say goodbye: "I have to go to women's school tomorrow, and I have to go back to Wenshu, so I won't stay any more."

Zhen Tingyun escorted her out the door and asked someone to put down the half-eaten cold rice and cold dishes, leaving Liushun and Bazhen to pack up, and move to the old lady Zhen's yard tomorrow, while he got up and went to talk to Mrs. Zhen— Mrs. Zhen felt a little bored looking at it in the morning, so she had to console her.

Unexpectedly, when Zhen Tingyun arrived at the edge of Mrs. Zhen's yard, she already heard Mrs. Zhen's happy laughter, and there was no sullenness in Zhen Tingyun's imagination at all.

In fact, Father Zhen, as a filial son, pays more attention to the psychological problems of Mother Zhen than Zhen Tingyun, a granddaughter who is addicted to studying. Therefore, Father Zhen came to the house as soon as he was in the office, and brought Mrs. Pei and Zhen Hengzhe to accompany Mrs. Zhen for dinner.

So, Mrs. Zhen sat at the top, with her son on the left, grandson on the right, a pair of sweethearts, she was literally at the peak of her life, and she was so happy that she even used an extra bowl for dinner, and the laughter was even more so. He couldn't stop it, even Zhen Tingyun outside the hospital heard it.

I have to say that Zhen Tingyun is really a little pantothenic acid: I thought your old man was waiting for me to speak, but I didn't think that people were hugging and hugging happily, and I didn't think of you at all!

Seeing Zhen Tingyun coming over, Mrs. Zhen glanced at her busy time and pouted, "Why are you here?"

Zhen Tingyun: "!!!"

This kind of patriarchal grandmother is really annoying!

Fortunately, although old lady Zhen was a little dazzled, she still looked at her granddaughter's face. Seeing that Zhen Tingyun's face changed slightly, she also came back to her senses, and before her granddaughter spoke, she was anxious and wise: "Oh, two. Girl, you are here! Your father bought me a pound of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and I said I can't eat that much, so why don't I just wait for you to eat it."

Saying that, Mrs. Zhen waved her hand, called Zhen Tingyun over, and took a piece of osmanthus cake in person: "Eat it quickly, the cakes in Beijing are delicious, fresh and full of ingredients!"

Father Zhen and Mrs. Pei were a little stunned: never thought that a patriarch like Mrs. Zhen would love her granddaughter like this.

However, Zhen Tingyun felt better, and took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Mrs. Zhen with peace of mind, and then met with Father Zhen, Mrs. Pei and Zhen Hengzhe one by one.

Zhen's father felt guilty about his daughter, so he asked her to sit beside him and talk to her in a warm voice: "Listen to your mother, you got up early this morning to practice calligraphy, and even at noon you didn't have time to spare... Working hard and being a father is also very gratifying, but you are still young, so you still have to pay more attention to your body, if you are exhausted, it will be counterproductive."

Zhen Tingyun ate a few mouthfuls of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and felt a little dry in his mouth, so he reached out and drank a cup of hot tea from the side, and then he said, "It's not too tired. After practicing calligraphy in the morning, I It's not too early to move the flute to noon. After lunch, it is a pastime to memorize the piano score and play the bamboo flute. After the pastime, I practice calligraphy. brain."

Having said that, Zhen Tingyun felt that his arrangement was very flexible and reasonable.

You must know that when she and Yuan Hui were on their way, she put paper on the carriage to practice calligraphy, which was really tiring. Then Yuan Hui would drive herself out for a horse race, sweat all over, and then come back and practice calligraphy, then For a while, my wrists and fingers are trembling, and I am so tired...

Thinking of the hard work on the road, Zhen Tingyun really didn't feel the slightest bit of hard work in the so-called hard work now, but he seemed to be enjoying it.

Even Zhen Tingyun remembered the practice of riding and archery, and asked casually: "Dad, there are two classes of imperial archery in women's school. I can read books at home, practice calligraphy, blow flute, etc., but imperial archery is not easy to practice. , how to do this?"

To be honest, when he remembered that there was no place to practice imperial archery, Zhen Tingyun wanted to go to the haunted house in Yuanhui. The other courtyard was remote and remote, and there was Xishan next to it. It was also very convenient for horses and archery. It's just that now that I'm back home, it's not very convenient to go out, so I have to restrain myself and ask my father before making plans.

Father Zhen had never thought about this.

Although women's studies have to take the six arts exams, many girls are not good at shooting, so women's studies have also relaxed the requirements a little bit according to the times: girls who are not good at these two subjects can choose one from chess, painting, poetry, and ci. The door is used as a candidate alternative, but the highest alternative can only get B. For example, Zhen Yiyun, her horsemanship is good, but she is really not good at archery, so she chose painting as a substitute. In the final six arts exams, Zhen Yiyun got A's in the five disciplines of etiquette, music, calligraphy, math, and imperialism, and only got a B for painting instead of shooting. And Pei is proud.

So, Father Zhen didn't expect Zhen Tingyun to be so busy and still thinking about riding and shooting. He first praised: "'I am angry and forget my food, and I am happy to forget my worries'. It is rare for me to work so hard..." His eyes couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Pei.

Mr. Pei understood, took the words, and smiled: "There is a Zhuangzi outside of the city, although it is not big, it is still possible to run horses, but you don't have to be so anxious - you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and take the women's school entrance examination. It's not in a hurry. You can rest easy and let your big sister help you to prepare slowly. Although you may not pass the exam this year, there is still hope next year. "

Although Mrs. Zhen had already mentioned that Zhen Tingyun was going to take the women's school yesterday, neither Zhen's father nor Mrs. Pei cared about it: Zhen Tingyun had accompanied Mrs. Zhen in the countryside since childhood, and they knew Zhen Tingyun best. What is the temperament of the old lady and what the countryside is like. Therefore, it is a miracle that Zhen Tingyun can recognize the characters and write them well. It is not necessary to think about taking the women's school. They really don't believe that Zhen Tingyun can take the women's school. But Zhen Tingyun is now practicing calligraphy, blowing flute, and reading arithmetic, and he is still thinking about practicing riding and archery. Pei Shi and Zhen's father can see that their daughter is eager for quick success and quick success, and her temperament is too impatient.

Zhen Tingyun raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Pei, and pursed his lips: "Mother also thinks I can't pass the exam?"

Pei's meal: "I just think that when dealing with people, you should be down-to-earth."

Zhen Tingyun turned his head to look at her, and suddenly smiled, his brows and eyes curled into a smile: "Mother, why don't you make a bet? If I am admitted to the women's school, will you give me the Zhuangzi outside the city?"

In fact, that Zhuangzi Pei has already given it to the eldest daughter Zhen Yiyun and asked her to take care of it, which is already considered a dowry for the eldest daughter. But now that Zhen Yiyun said this and looked like this again, Mrs. Pei's heart skipped a beat, and she somehow became impatient and irritable.

She was silent for a moment, before she said, "If you pass the test, what is a Zhuangzi?"

As if not seeing Pei's insincere words, Zhen Tingyun smiled when he heard the words: "You have the Zhuangzi you promised me, I have to work harder!"

Zhen's father originally wanted to persuade his daughter to pay attention to her body and combine work and rest, but after seeing her small appearance, she swallowed the words: Well, it's not a big deal, as long as her daughter is happy.

Pei Shi originally wanted to ask a husband for her daughter to make up for the education she had left behind, but at this time, she was so annoyed that she was a little annoyed, so she swallowed the teacher's words, and what she thought was: littleThe girl has only come from a small country in the country, and it is inevitable that she has a high self-esteem. It is also a good thing to tell her to fall, suffer a loss, and grind her temperament. She can also know how high the sky is and how thick it is.

Only Mrs. Zhen nodded, she was very happy, and she quickly settled the matter: "This is your mother's makeup for you, why don't you thank your mother?"

Zhen Tingyun also got up and thanked Pei.

Being blocked by this pair of living treasure grandparents, Pei's heart was somewhat depressed, and even the words were much less. Only Zhen's father was happy to see the family and he was still at the side.

Several people said something, and seeing that it was not early, they just got up to leave.Zhen Tingyun originally wanted to stay and talk to Mrs. Zhen, but seeing that Mrs. Zhen's face was tired, she didn't stay any longer and went back first.

As a result, when Zhen Tingyun went back this time, he happened to bump into a good show in his courtyard.
