Chapter 011: The first three
·
Zhen Baolu pondered for a moment, feeling that since even her sister said this, she must have thought too much. So she stopped talking, just holding Zhen Baoqiong's arm and said, "Sister, let's go over and see my brother and the others."
Zhen Baoqiong was a little stunned when she saw her sister's intimate behavior, and then immediately reacted, looked at her sister's beautiful little face happily, nodded and said, "Okay."
Today is the third ritual of the fourth and fifth sons of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. At this moment, the two little guys are being wrapped tightly, showing only a white and tender face. After greeting the guests, Mrs. Zhen was holding one of the grandsons with kindness and said, "Although they are twins, they are a bit worthy of holding them. They are a strong child." Mrs. Zhen is usually strict with her granddaughter, but she is very doting to her grandson. There are three young men in the second and third rooms. Except for Zhen Jingzhou, who was born in a villain, the old lady has always favored the other two.
When the Zhen Baolu and his sisters entered, they saw Mrs. Zhen holding her newborn brother, while her second and third aunts were with the old lady.
The second wife Cheng saw Zhen Baolu and suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and looked at the old lady holding her grandson, and smiled and said to Zhen Baolu: "Alu comes here to see my brother, how cute."
Zhen Baolu looked at Cheng with a smile on her face.
This scene is quite impressive.
When her younger brothers were basing the Three Vessels in the last life, they seemed to be the second aunt who greeted her. At that time, she didn't like her two younger brothers. At that time, everything was written on her face. The ancestors didn't like her at first, and seeing that she was a sister and ignored her own brother, she even had a bad impression of her.
Zhen Baolu slowly walked over, and as Cheng wanted, she sank a small face. She walked to the old lady and looked at Brother Rong in the old lady's arms, and became more and more depressed.
Cheng naturally understood the little niece's thoughts. She wanted Xu to give birth to a son, but Xu was so angry this time that he not only gave birth to a son, but also gave birth to two.
Today, Zhen Baolu is particularly well-behaved. Although the old lady thinks this little granddaughter is spoiled, her eldest son loves this daughter as a bell of eyes. Even if she is looking at her son, she doesn't want to ignore her too much.
At this moment, the old lady was happy holding her grandson. When she raised her eyes, she looked at her cute little cheeks of her granddaughter, Yuxue, and immediately smiled and said, "As a sister, why did she have this expression when she saw her brother?"
The old lady's tone was a little cold, and the people present could naturally hear that she was unhappy.
Zhen Baoqiong has always been afraid of the majesty of the old lady and is well-behaved and sensible on weekdays, but now when she hears that the old lady seems to be scolding her sister, she can't help but step forward and say, "Old ancestor, my sister doesn't mean that, she, she is just, just..."
It's just what? Zhen Baolu knew that her sister had never lie. She wanted to protect her now and could not find a good excuse for the time being.
Zhen Baolu hurriedly spoke in front of her sister: "Old ancestor, Alu likes her younger brother. Xie Fuzi once said that brothers and sisters should take care of each other. Shang Ge'er and Rong Ge'er were just born. Alu is sister, so they should protect them well. But--" As he said that, Zhen Baolu raised her eyes and looked at Cheng.
Facing the wet big eyes of the little niece, Cheng's smile froze and suddenly a bad premonition came out.
Zhen Baolu continued: "It's just that the second aunt told Alu that when her parents have a younger brother, they won't care for Alu anymore. In the future, Alu's snacks and toys will be given to her younger brother, and she can't keep any of them. Ancestor, if Alu is as obedient as her sister and goes with Master Xie to study hard, will her parents continue to care for Alu?"
Cheng didn't expect that the little girl said such words. When she saw the old lady's expression was unwilling, she hurriedly explained: "Don't her daughter-in-law, how could her daughter-in-law say such words? It was Alu who slandered her daughter-in-law."
Zhen Baolu pursed her lips, tears rolled in her big eyes, and looked up at Cheng and said, "Second Aunt, my mother taught Alu, children should not lie."
Cheng hurriedly said: "You..."
"Okay." The old lady said this, without looking at Cheng's eyes, and said lightly, "How old are you, and you still care about the children? How old is Alu, but she is just eight years old. If you make such a fuss, you won't be laughed at by someone. Besides, Alu is just a child, what bad intentions can a child have?"
Cheng bit his lip and was so angry that he was a little angry, but the old lady was present and did not dare to have an attack for the moment.
The old lady said, "You go back to your room and reflect. You will go to Lingfeng Temple next month. I will ask Madam Ping to send you some scriptures later. I will stay in the house to copy scriptures in the past few days."
This punishment was considered light. However, Zhen Baolu felt a little relieved.
After that, the old lady left Zhen Baolu alone.
The old lady raised her eyes and slowly looked at the little granddaughter in front of her. She had never seen this little granddaughter well in recent years, but she only knew that she was arrogant and had no motivation in her studies, which was an upset. But now, she looked carefully and saw that her granddaughter had agility in her eyebrows and eyes, her cheeks were full of innocence, and her pink ones were like peach blossoms blooming on the branches in March. It was hard to make people feel disgusted no matter how you look at it.
I also thought that she took the initiative to come out to see Old Lady Xue today, and her behavior was also elegant and she was not inferior to the older Qiong Jie'er.
The old lady said, "Who taught you what I said today?"
Zhen Baolu was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that her grandmother was a veteran after all, so how could she deceive her with such tricks?
Zhen Baolu thought about making excuses, but after thinking about it, she suddenly understood something, looked up at the old lady and said, "No one taught Alu. Aunt Second has indeed told Alu that, but... she just wants to give her younger brother the words "Alu himself understands."
The old lady looked at the eyes of her granddaughter and saw that these eyes were so energetic, clear and clean, and she did not lie. She was a person who had experienced the storms and waves, and her daughters-in-law had more or less understood the thoughts of them. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to have thoughts, but if they go too far, it would be bad.
Zhen Baolu was nervous and couldn't figure out what the old lady was thinking.
She hesitated for a moment and continued: "Children cannot lie. My parents taught Alu and Mr. Xie also said this. Alu knew that his ancestors thought Alu was naughty on weekdays and did not like Alu, but Alu really told the truth."
The old lady said softly: "I'm talking about thanking Master now. Why don't you pay more attention to your homework on weekdays?"
Zhen Baolu frowned and couldn't answer for a moment.
The old lady sighed in her heart and said, "You said that my grandmother thought you were naughty, but you should understand that if you are really capable, even if you are naughty, your age will naturally feel that your temperament is naive. But if you are not capable, and still domineering and docile, you will be disgusting."
If Zhen Baolu was a big girl at this moment, she would really blush when she said this.
However, her grandmother was not wrong. She was incompetent and wanted everyone to surround her. That was a real fool. Her grandmother liked her good homework and a well-behaved and sensible granddaughter. She felt that her grandmother favored her, but who told her not to work hard?
No matter how beautiful a girl is, she can only be a fool’s beauty by relying on her face alone.
Zhen Baolu nodded and said, "Thank you for your ancestors' teachings, Alu has recorded them."
The old lady originally thought that after she said this, the sweet little granddaughter was probably about to cry. Unexpectedly, the little granddaughter nodded obediently, looking at her expression, as if she had heard it. The old lady didn't like this little granddaughter before, and she felt more disappointed. But now she thought that this little granddaughter was only eight years old, and if she could make it right, it would be a good thing.
The old lady said, "Next month, my grandmother is going to Lingfeng Temple. I will choose three of you six girls to accompany me."
Zhen Baolu was very moved when she heard this. No matter how well-behaved the girl is, how could she not like to go out?
When the old lady saw her granddaughter's eyes lit up, she didn't look so smart as she was just now. Everything was written on her face.
After all, he was too young. The old lady sighed.
"As long as you can get the top three this time, my grandmother will take you with you."
The first three.
The Duke of Qi Mansion was a total of six girls. Knowing that their ancestors liked to do good homework, they all worked hard to study. Thanks to this, the girls in the Duke of Qi Mansion became famous in the future. The most talented ones were the eldest girl Zhen Baojun of the second room, the third girl Zhen Baozhang of the third room, and the fourth girl Zhen Baoqiong of the eldest room.
The six girls are now studying in Yuqing Mountain Room together. They take a small exam every month and will give the old lady a clear ranking.
In the previous life, the old lady liked to take Zhen Baojun, Zhen Baozhang and Zhen Baoqiong when she went out. Zhen Baolu didn't understand, but she just felt that her grandmother was partial, but she didn't know that this was how her grandmother arranged it.
These three people are in the top three every time they get in the exam, and the first place is either Zhen Baozhang or Zhen Baoqiong.
Zhen Baolu clenched her hands in her sleeves.
In her previous life, she was not without a competitive heart. When she saw her sister performing well and was praised by her grandmother, she also wanted the kind of pride she showed on her mother's face. But she always felt that no matter how good she performed, her mother loved her the most, so she didn't spend much effort on her homework.
If she can be more outstanding in this life, my mother will be proud of her.
When the old lady saw her granddaughter frowning and said that she wanted to retreat, she said, "What? I'm afraid I won't do it?"
Why didn't it work?
