Reborn eldest daughter

At this moment, Long'er came back with tea and pastries.Long'er arranged the teacups and pastries neatly.

Although the cakes he likes are placed in front of him, Zhao Keren has no appetite at all.Because she has been absent-minded ever since she heard about the White Jade Guanyin.Zhao Keren made up his mind in his heart that he must buy the white jade Guanyin.But how much silver does the Guanyin statue cost?Zhao Keren actually has no idea.But she didn't dare to ask easily, because Zhao Keran had been persuading her all along, asking her not to buy that white jade Guanyin.

Zhao Keren picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and after looking at Zhao Keran for a few times, she finally couldn't help but said, "Sister, how much money does the white jade Guanyin statue cost?"

Zhao Keran gave Zhao Keren a strange look, "Keren, why do I feel that you are so interested in that Guanyin statue?"

Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Zhao Keren quickly denied, "Sister, I don't, but just hearing you say that, I feel a little curious. Didn't you just say that you can't afford it? I just feel strange, that statue How expensive is the white jade Guanyin?"

Zhao Keran replied with a smile, "I have sent someone to inquire about it before, and I heard that it costs about 5 taels of silver!"

"What, 5 taels of silver?" Zhao Keren was taken aback, she finally realized that Zhao Keran's words just now were not bluffing, 5 taels of silver, that is really not a small amount!

Seeing Zhao Keren's surprised look, Zhao Keran smiled, "Yes! If it wasn't so expensive, I would have bought it a long time ago. But cousin Yi Miao should be able to afford the money."

"Yes!" Zhao Keren smiled forcedly.Indeed, Qin Yimiao is the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, so the 5 taels of silver should not be a problem for her.However, if he wanted to scrape together the 5 taels of silver, it would be very difficult.However, I feel unwilling to give up like this.

"Keren, what's wrong with you? You don't seem to be looking well!" Seeing Zhao Keren's ugly face, Zhao Keran sneered in his heart, but there was still a concerned expression on his face.

"I seem to have a headache." Zhao Keren smiled weakly, "Sister, I'd better go back first."

Zhao Keren didn't want to make false claims with Zhao Keran here anymore, so he quickly found an excuse and wanted to leave.Now she's going back to find a way to raise money, she doesn't want to lose to Qin Yimiao!

Seeing Zhao Keren's appearance, Zhao Keran quickly asked, "Keren, your complexion is not very good, do you want to call a doctor?"

Zhao Keren quickly refused, "No need, I just have a headache, it's not a big deal. It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. I just need to go back and take a rest."

"Alright then!" Zhao Keran didn't want to keep him anymore, "I'll find someone to take you back!"

In time tea and that. "No."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Keren left by himself.

Looking at Zhao Keren's back, Zhao Keran had a smile on his face.It seems that Zhao Keren really wants to buy this white jade Guanyin!Otherwise, how could he leave in such a hurry!That's right, just now she deliberately told about Baiyu Guanyin.She knows Zhao Keren very well, Zhao Keren is proud and arrogant.Especially now that she has just been engaged to Lin Xiran and assumed the title of Mrs. Zhongyi Hou's future son, she wants to make everything perfect.As long as you mention that white jade Guanyin in front of her, she will definitely be moved.However, that 5 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, how will she get it together?Really looking forward to it!

However, in order to make Zhao Keren more determined to win this white jade Guanyin, she also specifically mentioned cousin Yimiao!You know, compared with Zhao Keren, Cousin Yimiao's Yimiao is not inferior, and she is even better than Zhao Keren in terms of family background and talent, so Zhao Keren has always been very dissatisfied with this.Now knowing that Cousin Yimiao also likes this white jade Guanyin, Zhao Keren is even more unwilling to let go.

However, she said that cousin Yi Miao also wanted it, so she was definitely not lying.But I never thought about buying it.At that time, Zhao Keren broke her fortune, offended cousin Yimiao, and couldn't gain face in front of everyone. What will her face be like then?It's really worth looking forward to!

Thinking of this, Zhao Keran smiled happily.

"Miss, is there anything happy?" Long Er asked beside her, "You really smile brightly."

Zhao Keran looked up at the sky outside, "I just think the weather is pretty good today."

"Really?" Long'er looked outside, but didn't think there was anything special.

Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Long'er, you can't understand."

Hearing Zhao Keran teasing her, Long'er pouted.

In this way, Zhao Keran continued to embroider her screen again.However, after a while, the first-class maid from Qinghe Pavilion came to Chunhui Garden.

As soon as Qin Xianghe's maid, Ya'er, came, she immediately bowed to Zhao Keran, "My servant, Ya'er, I have met the eldest lady."

This Ya'er is Qin Xianghe's capable servant girl. Besides Qin Nanny, Qin Xianghe trusts this Ya'er the most.In this mansion, Ya'er's status is not low, even the other aunts and concubines are respectful when they see Ya'er.Zhao Keran and Zhao Keren are out of respect, so they have to call this Ya'er a sister.But this Ya'er is not an easy-going lamp, she does everything well in the mansion and never offends anyone easily.I have to say that this girl does have her own merits.

Seeing Ya'er's arrival, Zhao Keran was very surprised, "Sister Ya'er, do you have any orders from mother? I want you to come here in person!"

After Ya'er got up, she replied with a smile, "I will meet Missy's words, Madam has an order to invite Missy to Qinghe Pavilion for a gathering."

Zhao Keran put down the embroidery in his hands, and sighed, it seems that today he should not even think about embroidering screens quietly.After that, Zhao Keran called a little maid to take the embroidery back to the room.

After preparing everything, Zhao Keran made a gesture of invitation, "Sister Ya'er, let's go!"

Ya'er led the way, Zhao Keran and Long'er followed quietly behind.

on the way--

"Sister Ya'er, do you know that Mother is looking for me for something?" Zhao Keran inquired.

In fact, she already vaguely had the answer in her heart. It seems that mother is not very satisfied with what she has done recently!Especially when I heard that my father stayed in Suifeng Garden last night.It seems that Niangqin wants to ask the teacher to blame her!However, even if he guessed it, Zhao Keran still wanted to confirm it.

Hearing Zhao Keran's question, Ya'er replied with a smile, "Miss is joking, the slave is just a maid, how can you guess what madam is thinking!"

After Zhao Keran smiled, he took out a ring from his purse and gave it to Ya'er, "Sister Ya'er, you are my mother's right-hand man! You can always guess how much mother is thinking, right?" !"

Everyone has weaknesses. Although this Ya'er is good at everything, she likes to be greedy for petty gain, and she also loves money.But this is not a big disadvantage, after all, there is no one who is not greedy for money.Besides, although Ya'er is greedy for money, she never does bad things and is loyal enough, so Qin Xianghe turned a blind eye to her little flaw and didn't blame her too much.

Now, although the ring that Zhao Keran gave to Ya'er was not a priceless treasure, it was also made of pure gold, and it was worth a lot of money!However, Zhao Keran didn't particularly like this ring, and always thought it was too tacky, so he never wore it.Now it's time to use it to bribe Ya'er.

After Ya'er looked at the forehead ring in her hand, the smile on her face became brighter, "Miss, I really don't know why Madam is looking for you, she never told me."

After finishing speaking, Ya'er looked around again, and after finding that there was no one there, she whispered in Zhao Keran's ear again, "However, Madam is very dissatisfied with the fact that the young lady and the young master seem to be too close."

Sure enough, Zhao Keran thought to himself that his recent closeness with Feng'er seemed to have aroused his mother's dissatisfaction.For a long time, my mother didn't like me to associate with other concubines or concubine children. My mother seems to be really dissatisfied with what I have done recently, otherwise she wouldn't call me over specially. It seems that she wants to teach her a lesson. Be yourself!

"Miss, you just have to be careful." Ya'er reminded, "No matter how you say it, you are Madam's own daughter, Madam will not do anything to you, the worst is to scold you." 13acv.

Ya'er knows how to repay Zhao Keran's kindness very well, so she will naturally give some hints after taking Zhao Keran's things.

Hearing Ya'er's words, Zhao Keran said with a smile, "Thank you, sister Ya'er, for your guidance, but I am very grateful."

"Miss, you're being polite." Ya'er quickly replied, "I can't help anything, and I hope Miss will not take offense."

Zhao Keran smiled and replied, "Sister Ya'er has helped me a lot."

Not long after.They had already entered the hall of Qinghe Pavilion.As soon as Zhao Keran entered the door, he saw Qin Xianghe sitting on the main seat in the hall, his expression was not very good.

Zhao Keran naturally knew why Qin Xianghe had a bad complexion, but she still pretended not to know, and saluted Qin Xianghe respectfully as soon as she entered the door,

"Okay, I would like to greet my mother, and my mother is well."

Looking at Zhao Keran who entered the door, Qin Xianghe's expression was very bad. Even Zhao Keran saluted her, but she just pretended not to know, and let Zhao Keran stand there without answering.

Zhao Keran naturally knew that it was definitely not a good thing for Mother to call her here this time, so she was already mentally prepared for these difficulties, so she didn't show any objection. Since Mother didn't answer, she just stood like this.

Seeing Qin Xianghe making things difficult for Zhao Keran, Nanny Qin couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Ma'am, the eldest lady is here, and she is saluting to you!"

Zhao Keran heard someone speak, and looked up, it turned out to be Mother Qin.Zhao Keran looked gratefully at Mother Qin.Zhao Keran remembered Mother Qin.Nanny Qin is mother's nanny. She has watched her grow up since she was a child. She used to serve her grandmother by her side, so no matter whether it is in the Grand Master's Mansion or the Duke of Qin's Mansion, Nanny Qin always has a certain status.Even so, Nanny Qin has never been arrogant, she is rigorous and fair in doing things, so she has won the respect of many people.

Hearing Qin Nanny's words, although Qin Xianghe had a bad face, she did not reprimand Qin Nanny. After all, in her heart, Qin Nanny's existence was no different from that of an elder, and she would not talk back to Qin Nanny .But now that Nanny Qin has spoken, she can no longer ignore it.

So Qin Xianghe glanced at Zhao Keran and said, "Since you're here, sit down!"

Hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Keran sat down on the chair beside him as he said.Soon, a maid put the teacup on the small tea table next to Zhao Keran's chair.

After the good tea was served, Qin Xianghe ordered, "Except Nanny Qin, you all go down first! I have something to talk to the eldest lady."

Soon, all the maids left the hall in a single file.After a while, only Qin Xianghe, Zhao Keran and Qin Nanny were left in the hall.

Looking at this battle, Zhao Keran couldn't help sneering in his heart, this time is really similar to the last time when he went to Chunhui Garden to persuade her to quit the engagement!When I went to persuade her to quit the engagement last time, she also rejected everyone. It seems that nothing good will happen this time.

However, despite thinking this way in his heart, Zhao Keran's face was still very calm, drinking tea leisurely, as if Qin Xianghe called her here just to taste tea, extremely at ease.

Seeing Zhao Keran like this, Qin Xianghe's stomach was full of anger. She hit the teacup vigorously and dropped it on the coffee table, making a "bang--", breaking the peace in the hall.

Zhao Keran glanced at Qin Xianghe indifferently, and said, "Mother, did you come to me today for something? Are you feeling unwell? It looks like your complexion is not very good."

Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Xianghe sneered, "Can I look good? With a 'good daughter' like you, I can't do it even if I want to!"

Zhao Keran put on a puzzled expression, "Mother, what do you mean by saying that! Did I do something to make you angry?"

Qin Xianghe smiled sarcastically, "Don't you think you did nothing wrong?"

Seeing Qin Xianghe's appearance, Zhao Keran had an innocent expression, "Mother, if you have something to say, just say it! If my daughter really did something wrong, mother can just say it, and my daughter must correct it." .”

"Well, let me ask you," Qin Xianghe said, "the last time Keren fell into the water, why did you help Zhao Ying get rid of the crime? If it weren't for you, Zhao Ying would have been punished. Keren is yours." My dear sister, she was thrown into the water by Zhao Ying, not only did you not help her, you also caused her to be fined and grounded. You think you did this, right?"

After listening to Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Keran sneered in his heart, but the matter of falling into the water must be investigated to the end, but the matter of himself falling into the water can be left alone, and he specially asked himself to ask the teacher for the crime, he is really his good mother!It's outrageous to be eccentric!

"Mother, if you say this, you really wronged your daughter." Zhao Keran said calmly, "At the beginning, other than me, Lin Shizi was the one who saw this. We really didn't see Zhao Ying. I'm just telling you what I saw, and I didn't hide anything, and I didn't add any embellishments, mother, tell me, where did I go wrong?"

Hearing Zhao Keran's justification, Qin Xianghe was speechless to refute, but still insisted, "But, if it weren't for you, how could Keran be punished and grounded?"

Hearing Qin Xianghe's unreasonable words, Zhao Keran no longer cares, even if she still has admiration for Qin Xianghe, it has been consumed by her actions little by little.Now I no longer feel sad for my mother's eccentricity.

So, Zhao Keran smiled and asked, "Mother, how could it be my fault? Dad is the one who gave this order! I never said anything! I just put everything I saw and heard Just say it out, don’t tell me, mother, do you think I should make up some lies to deceive father, so that father can punish Zhao Ying severely?”

Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Xianghe actually nodded in agreement, "You should do this, only in this way can you get justice for Keren, isn't it?"

Hearing Qin Xianghe's answer, Zhao Keran laughed, "Mother, you want me to lie, but aren't you afraid that if father finds out, he will punish me as well? Besides, at that time, I was not the only one present, and others would also Tell the truth!"

Qin Xianghe was taken aback by Zhao Keran's words, but she quickly realized, "In short, it's wrong for you to harm Keren."

Hearing Qin Xianghe's words, Zhao Keran just felt it was funny, is her mother really the eldest lady of Duke Qin's mansion?How can you act like a shameless shrew, you really don't know right from wrong!

Not only Zhao Keran found it unbelievable, but even Mother Qin who was at the side couldn't listen anymore, and hurriedly said, "Madam, it seems that it's not for this matter that you are here today!"

Hearing Qin Nanny's words, Qin Xianghe seemed to be aware of her gaffe just now, but it was absolutely impossible for her to explain or apologize, besides——

"However, you seem to have a good relationship with Suifengyuan recently, don't you?" Qin Xianghe asked.

Hearing Qin Xianghe's question, a dark light flashed in Zhao Keran's eyes, it seemed that he was about to get down to business.

"Yes!" Zhao Keran nodded with a smile, "When I fell into the water and got sick, Aunt Sun and Feng'er visited me in Chunhui Garden several times, but they didn't see me. I went to Suifeng Garden in time and wanted to thank them in person. Later, after chatting with them, I found that they hit it off, so we got in touch with each other."

"Do you think you have an affinity with them?" Qin Xianghe said loudly, "What is the affinity between you and them?"

Seeing Qin Xianghe's startled expression, Zhao Keran was already very calm, "Mother, Aunt Sun is my elder, and Feng'er is my younger brother. Isn't it common for us to have contacts? ?”

Looking at Zhao Keran's expression and hearing Zhao Keran's answer, Qin Xianghe was very dissatisfied, but she still tried her best to suppress her anger, pretending to be earnest, and persuaded, "Keran, you are still young, , I don’t understand the sinister heart. The mother and child in Suifengyuan are definitely not that simple, don’t be fooled by their appearance. You have to know, they have no reason to be nice to you at all!”

Qin Xianghe's words made Zhao Keran sneer in his heart, why don't others have any reason to treat him well?Are you really that bad?Why can't others be nice to you?Is it normal that everyone in this world other than her should be like her, only treat Zhao Keren well?

Seeing Zhao Keran's silence, Qin Xianghe hurriedly continued to persuade Zhao Keran because Zhao Keran had already listened to her words, "Keran, in the future, you should not be so close to them, who knows what they are fighting for?" Bad idea! You are still young and don't understand anything. I am your mother, and I will never harm you."

Zhao Keran smiled and said, "Mother, you think too much, I don't think Aunt Sun and the others are bad people, they won't harm me."

Speaking of which, the person who really wants to harm him should be his good sister!

Hearing Zhao Keran's answer, Qin Xianghe frowned dissatisfiedly, "What do you know, anyway, just listen to me."

Zhao Keran looked distressed, "Mother, you don't like me being close to Aunt Sun and the others, but Father hopes that our siblings will come and go frequently, so who should I listen to?"

Hearing Zhao Keran's words, Qin Xianghe couldn't refute for a while, she couldn't say, what Zhao Song said was wrong!If my husband found out and I questioned his words, it would definitely make him unhappy.

After Qin Xianghe took a deep look at Zhao Keran, she suddenly asked, "Keran, are you still complaining about your mother forcing you to divorce Lin Shizi?"

Regarding Zhao Keran's rebuttals, Qin Xianghe could only think of this possibility.

Hearing Qin Xianghe's question, a sarcasm flashed quickly in Zhao Keran's eyes, even if he complained, what could he do?Could it be that at this time, she can still let Zhao Keren call off the engagement again?

"No daughter." Zhao Keran shook his head, "Daughter knows that she has no fate with Lin Shizi, so she won't complain. Besides, Keren is my younger sister. If she is happy, I will be happy too."

Qin Xianghe stared at Zhao Keran, hoping to see some clues from her face, but all she saw was a calm face.

Qin Xianghe sighed, "Oh, forget it, you go back first! However, I still have to say, I don't like you being so close to the mother and child in Suifengyuan, you can figure it out yourself! , Don’t let your father know about today’s conversation.”

Zhao Keran nodded, "My daughter knows what to do. If there is nothing else, my daughter will leave first."

Qin Xianghe waved her hand feebly. For some reason, she always felt that Ke Ran's daughter seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.

Looking at Zhao Keran's back, Nanny Qin couldn't help sighing, it seems that the madam's eccentricity pushed the young lady further and further away.
