Fair Lady

When Shuyao came to Weiyuan Hou Mansion, she felt at ease as if she was at her own home, and Yao Xuelan never treated her as a guest.

For example, right now, as soon as Shuyao got off the sedan chair, she saw Aunt Lan standing at the entrance of the flower hall holding Qianqian in red, wondering why she was welcomed so "grandly" today, when she heard Aunt Lan sigh with relief. Said: "It's just in time, Qianqian will leave it to you, and I will go to the front to deal with some things.

Qianqian let go of her mother's hand, and rushed towards Shuyao, not forgetting to say to her mother: "Mother, hurry up, Qianqian can be accompanied by sister Yao'er." Qianqian is very willing to get close to Shuyao, As long as Shuyao comes, her parents and three older brothers have to stand aside.

Yao Xuelan scolded with a smile: "This little heartless person, once you see your sister Yao'er, you won't be a mother, right?" Just now she was crying and not letting her go, and refused to follow her to the front yard. Generous" obedient girl?

Qianqian retracted into Shuyao's arms, and made a face at Yao Xuelan: "Mother is unreasonable, Qianqian is very good, let mother do things."

Mu Yongqi's wife, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi's wife, Mrs. Du, first burst into laughter: "You have to be so obedient earlier to be really obedient. Just now who refused to go to the front with mother, and refused to be with sister-in-law?" Staying here together to play tangram? Ah yo, sister-in-law forgot, who is it, who just cried so much that their eyes and noses are all balled up?"

Qianqian's face flushed with embarrassment: "My sister-in-law is bad, and my sister-in-law is not good. Qianqian doesn't like jigsaw cards."

Everyone laughed, and Yao Xuelan also laughed and shook her head. A while ago, she held on to Qiqiao cards all day long, but now "thousands of people don't like Qiqiao cards"?She really can't do anything about this precious girl who is "turning around and turning around" and changing as fast as the wind.

pity.In the eyes of the fourth father and son, Qianqian is "smart, quick to learn, and quick to respond", so what's the matter with "turning around"?Only when you have capital can you "go from side to side", right?

Marquis Weiyuan said brazenly: "Get all the kids who are the same age as us Qianqian to compare these jigsaw cards, and I guarantee that no one can play better than my daughter."

Mu Yongjing immediately echoed: "Isn't it? Once you're proficient at playing, it's no longer difficult, so you'll naturally get tired of it. How can you blame us for not liking it anymore?"

A pair of thousands of questions, there is no reason to talk to her father and three brothers, in their eyes.What Qianqian likes is reason.Don't they have their three brothers?Searching around, are you afraid that you won't find the new gadget that your sister likes?

When Yao Xuelan gave birth to Qianqian, she was always worried that she had been looking forward to a girl for so many years, so don't spoil her, but it turned out that she was the only "strict mother" in the whole family.

Shuyao hugged Qianqian and said with a smile: "Aunt Lan is busy, Qianqian is also busy looking at presents. There are a lot of them, besides sister Yao'er's own, there are also those brought by sister-in-law Miao."

Qianqian cheered, pulled Shuyao and walked inside: "Go and see the presents, mother, sister-in-law, you should go to work quickly. Don't be lazy."

Yao Xuelan smiled at the eldest daughter-in-law: "Yes, we are all disgusted by others. Let's go quickly, otherwise we will be called lazy by the laziest person in this house."

Yao Xuelan took Du's away in a hurry, while Shuyao was dragged into Xiaohua hall by Qianqian.

I don't know if it is because of Qianqian in her previous life or because she was not born, Shuyao has a special feeling for Qianqian, mixed with family affection and a heart of compensation.Coupled with Qianqian's cuteness and likability, Shuyao couldn't help but feel pampered.

After Qianqian "scrutinized" all the gifts, and then showed off to everyone with a bright face holding the "Huohuo" pillow.The two sisters started to play chess: backgammon, which was the way Yen Zirou taught the three Yao brothers and sisters when they were alive.

Qianqian is only three years old.She is not interested in the Go game that her father and three older brothers taught her, but at the moment, she is very interested in the "Gobang" which has the same board, the same black and white pieces, but a different way of playing.

While Qianqian was concentrating on the chess pieces, Shuyao quickly used a bamboo stick to insert an apple slice that the nanny had just brought to the little girl's mouth. Be aware of what you eat.

Qianqian has a very bad habit: she doesn't like to eat vegetables, and she doesn't like to eat any other fruits except watermelon.But watermelon only lasts for two or three months, right?The imperial doctor said that she must eat more fruits and vegetables, otherwise she would be so painful that she would cry every day during defecation, and the imperial doctor would have nothing to do.

Seeing that Qianqian almost finished eating an apple unknowingly, the nanny was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, but she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming her little ancestor, there were still two pieces left.

The nanny and the maidservants around Qianqian wished that Shuyao would live in the Marquis of Weiyuan every day, and only Shuyao had various ways to make Qianqian eat vegetables and fruits.I often see my daughter suffering from constipation, although Weiyuanhou and his wife didn't blame them, they feel distressed and feel guilty, don't they?

Mother Liu also laughed, the daughter of a wealthy family is used to being cruel, and she has some minor problems of one kind or another.Qianqian is not bad, except that she doesn't like to eat fruits and vegetables, she doesn't bother people very much, she is already a good little master to serve.

Everyone was happy, and the maid outside reported: "Girl, the eldest girl is here to see you."

Little Qianqian recovered from the black and white chess pieces, and saw that the thing brought to her mouth was an apple, and quickly pushed it away: "Sister Yao'er, I don't want to eat apples, and I don't like big sister either."

The nanny can't wait to go out and push the eldest girl Mu Shuiling out. You said it's not a good time to come, but you came here just when the last piece of apple was about to be imported, it really pissed her off.

But it was too late, Mu Shuiling had already stepped through the door.

Shuyao did not compromise, and insisted on bringing the apple to Qianqian's mouth again, and said with a smile: "Look, you don't like to eat it, but you ate a lot of it obediently, now there is only the last piece left, what's the problem? But, Your parents and brothers will be stunned when they come back, it turns out that we Qianqian are so obedient, we ate an apple without saying a word."

Qianqian frowned, she seemed to see the surprise and admiration of her parents and brothers, and then saw that the nanny's plate was indeed empty, she struggled for a while, and finally.He opened his small mouth to hold the apple in his mouth.There is only one slice, wouldn't it be a loss if you don't eat it?Isn't so much in front of me for nothing?Although she didn't know when she ate it.

Shuyao strikes while the iron is hot: "Chew it slowly, isn't it crispy and sweet? It's like Daxue and Xiaoxue chewing on carrots, hehe, we Qianqian are the cutest little white rabbits." Daxue Xiaoxue is Qianqian's second brother The two little white rabbits that Mu Yonglin got back for her are Qianqian's new favorites.Marquis Weiyuan was afraid that the two little rabbits would go wrong and make his precious daughter feel sad, so he specially transferred a maid who could raise rabbits from Zhuangzi to take care of the two pet rabbits in Qianqian's yard.

Qianqian thought of Daxue and Xiaoxue happily eating carrots.I was also happy, and suddenly felt that the apple in my mouth was really crunchy and sweet, and it was quite delicious, so I couldn't help but nodded, which seemed to agree with Shuyao's statement.

"That's right," Shuyao continued to seduce. "It's much better than that bitter medicine. Eat an apple a day, and you won't be in pain when you give birth. By the way, didn't Qianqian say that sister-in-law Miao is as beautiful as a fairy? Sister-in-law Miao likes to eat apples and bananas the most." .”

Qianqian opened her eyes wide: "Really? Qianqian also eats apples and bananas, so she's as beautiful as Sister-in-law Miao?" Qianqian is a very smug little girl.

Shuyao nodded positively: "Of course, Qianqian insists on eating, and when she grows up, she will be more beautiful than sister-in-law Miao."No one can deny it.Xiao Qianqian is now a beauty.

"Okay," Mu Yongqian waved his little hand. "Nurse, from today onwards, I will eat an apple and a banana every day."

"Okay, okay, the nanny remembers, and I promise to prepare it for the girl." The nanny was so happy that she couldn't find Beibei.Should I be happy?As for the season without apples and bananas, that's not what the nanny thinks about.Isn't there Lord Hou?There are three young masters, they will find a way, there is a cellar in the mansion.

The little ancestor finally proposed to eat fruit by himself, and everyone in the hall laughed heartily, except Mu Shuiling who just came in but was ignored.

As soon as Mu Shuiling stepped through the door, she heard Qianqian say "I don't like big sister", and she was embarrassed. When she saw Shuyao coaxing Qianqian to eat apples, she immediately prepared to take pleasure in others' misfortune.Getting Mu Yongqian to eat fruit should be one of the most difficult tasks in the world, right?

In order to please his father, aunt, and three aunt brothers, Mu Shuiling made up his mind to coax Qianqian to eat the fruit, and tried every means to do so, but it was all in vain. That dead girl ran away when she saw the fruit, It's like poison.Hmph, just being spoiled, starve her for a few days to see if she eats?

My aunt said, fruit is an expensive item, and poor people can’t get enough to eat, so how can they have spare money to buy fruit?I went to the mountain to get some wild fruit, but I was reluctant to eat it, so I wanted to take it to the market to exchange for money.Before my aunt was sold to the Hou's mansion to be a maid, her parents starved her for a whole day because she ate a wild fruit that she wanted to exchange for money.

In the end, Mu Shuiling really had no choice but came up with a trick: Li Daitao froze.

Mu Shuiling used unique persuasion to make Mu Yongqian eat up the whole apple every time, but Qianqian didn't like others watching her eat fruit, so she only let her eldest sister accompany her every time, and the nurses and maids had to quit go outside.

As long as the baby girl is willing to eat fruit, how can Marquis Weiyuan and Yao Xuelan care about her strange request?Only when Qianqian is close to the concubine sister, after all, there are only elder brothers in the house, and there is only one elder sister.In order to commend Mu Shuiling's contribution, Marquis Weiyuan gave Mu Shuiling a gift when he bought Qianqian a gift, which made her so excited that she couldn't fall asleep all night, feeling that she was close to success.

Until one time, Weiyuan Hou Muxiu, after lunch, the nanny peeled a big apple, cut it up and put it on a plate as usual. It was the top-quality apple tributed by Fanbang. It was big, sweet and crisp. Weiyuan Hou only got eight. None of the aunts are willing to eat, so leave it all to Qianqian.

Mu Shuiling took Qianqian to the small room next door, and after a while, Mu Shuiling came out with an empty plate and led Qianqian. Marquis Weiyuan was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, saying "Qianqian is so good", "I'm so cute" A girl is capable."

Mu Shuiling quickly echoed: "Father, Qianqian is very happy to eat, she really can eat."

Marquis Weiyuan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, it's a blessing to be able to eat, Qianqian likes to eat, dad will find a way to get some."

Unexpectedly, the little girl Qianqian became unhappy after hearing Mu Shuiling's words. When she had breakfast in the morning, the third brother laughed at her for eating two meat buns (xiaolongbao). They were piglets and they were too delicious.

Therefore, in Qianqian's head, "eatable" is equivalent to "little pig", and she doesn't like it because she is stinky.Immediately he mumbled loudly: "I'm not a little pig, big sister can eat it. Big sister is a little pig, and that plate of apples is eaten by big sister."

result?It is conceivable that Marquis Weiyuan coaxed Qianqian to tell the truth. It turned out that Mu Shuiling ate the apples every time. She and Qianqian made three chapters. She helped Qianqian eat the apples, but Qianqian had to keep it secret. Otherwise, parents will force her to eat fruit again.Mu Shuiling couldn't help her anymore.

Marquis Weiyuan was furious, no wonder Qianqian was still constipated even after eating a big apple every day in those days, which made him almost not scold the imperial doctor as a quack doctor.

That time, Mu Shuiling was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days.Fortunately, she knew the current affairs and did not try to deny it.She just cried and emphasized that she couldn't bear the anxiety of her parents and made this decision. She intended to let Qianqian watch her eat apples with great relish, and then want to eat them, so that she could further coax Qianqian to like eating fruits , she begged her father to give her another chance to persuade Qianqian.

It's a pity that Marquis Weiyuan refused to trust her anymore, so he decided to coax Qianqian by himself.One slice counts.Not only that, Qianqian was also forbidden to be alone with Mu Shuiling.

The little love Mu Shuiling won from her father because of Qianqian quickly disappeared because of Qianqian.

Because of his "tragic experience".Seeing that Shuyao was also trying to persuade Qianqian to eat apples, Mu Shuiling naturally took pleasure in others' misfortune.

The two people in front of him can be said to be the people Mu Shuiling hates the most in this world, especially Shuyao.Because everyone, including Marquis Weiyuan and Yao Xuelan, is saying that Shuyao is the lucky star of Marquis Weiyuan's mansion.The precious daughter of the Hou Mansion is the blessing brought by Shuyao, who doesn't know that Yao Xuelan is going crazy thinking about her daughter.And the imperial physicians believed that Yao Xuelan would never be able to conceive again?

Every time Mu Shuiling saw or thought of Shuyao, she would gnash her teeth with hatred. It was Shuyao, and Xia Shuyao, the disaster star, that made her unable to be a concubine, and made her so humble in front of that dead girl Mu Yongqian.

Especially after the Empress Dowager gave Shuyao and Qi Haoning a marriage, Mu Shuiling was so jealous that she secretly scolded God for not having eyes, and for being so unfair to her, a real beautiful girl from a famous family.How come Xia Shuyao, a calamity, brought her bad luck, but she was so lucky that the Empress Dowager personally bestowed a marriage to Prince Yong's son?

Mu Shuiling is already old this year, but her marriage has not yet been settled.Thinking of the Jiji ceremony a few months ago, she was angry, it was not as grand and grand as she wanted, and even her father didn't attend, because Mu Yongqian wanted to see wild flowers, chickens and ducklings, and it was rare for the Marquis of Weiyuan who was resting at home On a whim, I took Mu Yongqian to a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing early in the morning.

Yao Xuelan stayed in the mansion to make arrangements, but she did not invite her own girlfriends and relatives from her natal family as Aunt Hong and her daughter had hoped. She only invited relatives from the Hou Mansion. Good friends, and Aunt Hong's natal relatives.

It's not that Yao Xuelan doesn't care, what's the matter with a concubine's concubine's concubine's gift, she invites a real noble lady and concubine's daughter?Isn't it slapping someone in the face?

Even the Mu family, most of the relatives in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion didn't come, so it's fine to send a steward mother to give a gift.

In this way, what grand occasion is there?

Aunt Hong was born as a servant girl, and Mu Shuiling was just a concubine, and they got along well with each other, naturally, they were all aunts, concubines, or some maids and sisters who married off as stewardesses and their daughters.

Maternal relatives?Even more embarrassing.Aunt Hong was born in the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, she was still very poor and run-down, otherwise she would not have sold her to be a maid.Later, relying on Aunt Hong's monthly savings and rewards to buy a few acres of land, life got better.

After Concubine Hong became a concubine, she had more money in monthly bills, and even more money was secretly sent back, and she even confessed to a brother Juren.Yao Xuelan is kind to others, as long as she doesn't violate her bottom line, she won't restrain the three aunts from supporting her natal family. After all, those who know how to be aunts and maids, her natal family is not well-off, and the aunts are willing to use their own money She didn't want to be too harsh on helping her father and brother, and the Hou Mansion didn't lack that little money.Of course, magnanimity is magnanimity, Yao Xuelan is also shrewd at the same time, there is nothing the mansion can hide from her.

There was an uncle who made Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling "taller" than the other aunts and concubine brothers in the mansion, but Marquis Weiyuan's mansion was not a big merchant. The most wealthy and powerful, in their circle, what is a small person?Even Mu Shuiling didn't like it.

Mu Shuiling's marriage is still undecided, and the Jiji ceremony was originally an opportunity for her to show off, but now only those people she doesn't like come to watch the ceremony, who is she showing off to?

actually.In the past two years, Yao Xuelan paid attention to Mu Shuiling's advice several times, but every time the mother and daughter were asked to express their opinions, the two of them remained silent, pretending to be infinitely wronged, which really made Yao Xuelan hold her breath.The men she recruited are all good, right?Two of them are the sons of officials. Although they are bastards, they are hard-working and motivated.

Later, Yao Xuelan finally found out that the two women were rejecting concubines (funny. Mu Shuiling herself is a concubine, okay?), and she didn't bother to argue with them, and continued to ask someone to watch. After all, there was only such a concubine in the Hou Mansion, and Yao Xuelan also hoped that she could Marry well.

In April of this year, I finally picked a son-in-law.Quite outstanding, his father is a Congsi rank official who has just been transferred to Beijing, and the elder brother above him is a Jinshi in the new science department, and his family is quite simple, except for their two brothers, there is only one concubine sister (married) and one direct sister.And this second son is only 16 years old this year.I have already passed the exam, so I can hit it with one blow in order to be more sure.I didn't take part in this year's examination, but it is obvious that the scientific examination in three years' time is promising.

People will look at Mu Shuiling because they know that Yao Xuelan is a generous mistress, and there are not many concubines in the Marquis of Weiyuan, so they would not treat her harshly and neglect her upbringing.And after becoming in-laws with the Marquis of Weiyuan, they will always take care of some of them, won't they?

Marquis Weiyuan and Yao Xuelan were quite optimistic about the father and son of this family.He is capable and his mind is clear.If there is a suitable opportunity, Marquis Weiyuan would not mind helping him.

Who would have thought that for such a marriage that is difficult to find with lanterns, Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling are still hesitating, thinking that being a fourth-rank official is too young, saying that their family just came to the capital without foundation, and asking the elder brother of that family for engagement Well, it would be better if it was the eldest son. Although Mu Shuiling is five years old, older men are more loving.

Yao Xuelan laughed angrily, her elder brother is not engaged, so will she start to talk about her younger brother's marriage?And which official family will find a concubine daughter-in-law for the eldest son?Besides, with Mu Shuiling's submissive petty air, how can he take on the role of the eldest daughter-in-law?Even if she is the second daughter-in-law, she still wants to let her adoptive mother strengthen the teaching of housekeeping, communication and entertainment, and then marry two smarter and more capable companion mothers. Face.

Before Yao Xuelan could speak, Marquis Weiyuan who had just returned home said coldly: "Since you are so dissatisfied, leave it to Aunt Hong to figure it out, find a suitable one and report it to Madam. Anyway, it's up to you to choose, or You don't have to worry about whether Madam is deliberately not looking for you."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the pale faces of the two women, someone "invited" them out.

From then on, Yao Xuelan really let go.

What good family can Aunt Hong know?After hearing that her younger brother Juren, who runs a private school, asked someone to investigate and told that the school was indeed very good, I regretted it.

I heard that although the father of that family has just entered Beijing, he is highly valued by the emperor, and he is likely to be promoted in a short time; the elder brother has a good reputation in the Imperial Academy, and the father-in-law’s family is also strong, so the prospects are not bad; and the younger brother himself has been He was a genius, he had a serious illness during the exam last autumn, and he passed the Juren exam with ease. He might be better than his brother in three years.

Concubine Hong wanted to ask Madam to continue discussing the marriage, but she learned that Yao Xuelan had already recommended the second son to her niece, and the two families were very satisfied, and soon settled down, she wanted to cry without tears .

Just like this, the plan of showing a good performance at the ceremony and then discussing a good marriage fell through. Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling were completely honest, and they only cared about pleasing Yao Xuelan and Xiao Qianqian, because they knew very well that Yao Xuelan is softer than Lord Hou, and Qianqian is Lord Hou's eyeball. Only by currying favor with Qianqian can Lord Hou pay more attention to Mu Shuiling, which is why the apple incident happened.

And after the Apple incident, all the efforts of the two of them have returned to zero...

Therefore, in Mu Shuiling's view, "coaxing Qianqian to eat an apple" is simply impossible and the beginning of a disaster.

However, when she was waiting to read Shuyao's joke, she saw Qianqian opened her mouth, saw the empty plate in the nanny's hand, and heard Qianqian say that she would eat apples and bananas every day in the future.

Xia Shuyao obviously didn't do anything, Daxue Xiaoxue likes to eat carrots?Apples are crunchy and sweet, and medicine is bitter?Eating fruit is more beautiful, and will it not hurt? ……It's that simple?What are these?

Thinking of her earnestly telling Qianqian that apples are something only wealthy people can afford, and they are a symbol of status.He also said that she ate apples obediently.Parents will love her more, and they will give her whatever she wants.It's a pity that Qianqian didn't dump her when she broke her mouth, and even pushed her away when she got impatient.

It turns out that those big principles are useless to this dead girl, she is as superficial as Xia Shuyao, she only thinks about such simple things that anyone can see and want!No, there is no need to think about "apple is delicious, medicine is bitter".Any fool knows it.

Angry and angry, Mu Shuiling still dare not show face to Shuyao and Qianqian, let alone Qianqian, unless she thinks that she will have no place in Weiyuanhou's mansion, and even if she gets married, she can't even hope to get the slightest support from her natal family. otherwise.Give her a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to mess with her father's eyeballs and sweetheart.

As for Shuyao, she is now the quasi-prince concubine of Prince Yong's mansion, as well as her adoptive father and eldest brother who are deeply favored by the emperor, who is not tight-knit?If she dared to offend Shuyao and have a bad relationship with Shuyao, she would let her future husband know about it.He was definitely dissatisfied, and maybe he would find a reason to withdraw from the marriage.

Yes.Mu Shuiling was discussing marriage, just now Yao Xuelan rushed to the front with Mrs. Du to discuss Mu Shuiling's marriage.

The man is a brother of Du's natal sister-in-law, the seventh in the family, known as Ma Qilang.The Ma family is also an imperial merchant, although it cannot be compared with the Nangong family, it is considered among the top few rich merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Ma Qilang is 19 years old this year and is the second son of the Ma family.He also took part in this year's examination.Although he failed the exam, his teachers and classmates all said that he was very capable, this time it was just a mistake, and he will definitely pass high school in three years.

Ma Qilang had been engaged before, but half a year ago, his fiancée made a private appointment with his childhood sweetheart cousin and ran away, causing a lot of trouble. It is said that this is one of the main reasons why Ma Qilang failed the scientific examination this time.Just imagine, which man can be calm when he hears that his fiancée ran away with someone?Even if we haven't met each other, we don't know each other.In this era, as long as the status is determined, the woman will belong to the future husband's family.

Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling didn't dare to babble this time, and they listened carefully to the situation of the Ma family and Ma Qilang with a look of sincerity.Although Ma Qilang is also the second son, the couple are quite satisfied, why?Firstly, I have learned the lesson from the previous time and realized the market situation; secondly, the most important thing is that the Ma family is rich.The family is an imperial merchant, and the imperial merchant is an official, richer than ordinary officials, and more prestigious than ordinary businessmen.In addition, Ma Qilang himself is already a juror, an official, and has the opportunity to go to high school. How dare Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling dare to find fault, they are afraid that they will be snatched away by others when they turn around.

Today, Mrs. Ma brought Ma Qilang over to visit, that is, to show Yao Xuelan, Du's natal sister-in-law also came with her.If there are no accidents, this marriage can basically be settled.

Just now Mu Shuiling hid behind the screen and took a few sneak peeks, seeing that Ma Qilang is also considered a good-looking talent, he was even more satisfied.

It was because of hiding and peeping that Mu Shuiling heard Yao Xuelan explain to Mrs. Ma and Du's sister-in-law why she came a little late, and it was also because of that dead girl Qianqian.

Mrs. Ma praised Yao Xuelan's good life and good fortune, not only had three excellent sons, but also a beautiful and lovely daughter.It is said that who in the capital does not know that the jewel in the palm of the Marquis of Weiyuan is smart and lively, and looks just like the little jade girl under the seat of Guanyin.Hearing that Yao Xuelan said that Shuyao was taking Qianqian with her, she repeatedly praised that Shuyao is also a lucky star, and Qianqian sticks to Shuyao because they are the same kind of people, they are all lucky and likable.

From Madam Ma's reaction, Mu Shuiling further realized the gap between himself and Shuyao and Qianqian.No matter how unconvinced and jealous, she must please them, because of reality.

Even if her future husband's family is rich, even if her fiancé can go to high school in three years, she can't do without the support of her natal family. The most trusted celebrity around the emperor.

Arrogance is no match for reality!

So, as soon as she left the reception hall in the front yard, she came to see Qianqian and Shuyao.

Although she had done enough psychological construction, after hearing Qianqian's sentence "I don't like big sister", I was still angry from my heart.Almost couldn't bear it, turned around and left, and then wanted to make a fool of Kanshuyao, Kanshuyao and Qianqian turned against each other because of the piece of apple.

In the end, he was only greatly disappointed and even more jealous...

After coaxing Qianqian well, Shuyao put the bamboo sticks on the empty plate handed over by the nanny, and took a warm and wet face towel to help Qianqian imprint the apple juice on the corner of her mouth, and wiped her hands herself, then raised her head to face Mu Shuiling nodded with a smile, as a greeting.

Shuyao looked at Qianqian.With a smile in his eyes, but also with a question.No matter how much she doesn't like Mu Shuiling, Mu Shuiling is always Qianqian's concubine sister, Qianqian should say hello, she can't turn a blind eye like this, it's rude.

Shuyao sincerely regards Qianqian as her younger sister, so naturally she can't let her react like this.It is very difficult to correct the disrespectful and arrogant temperament since childhood, just like Zhen Keling.That would be very detrimental to Qianqian's growth, future reputation, popularity, and happy life.It doesn't matter if Qianqian is anxious or domineering.She has that capital, but she can't be rude, selfish and unreasonable, otherwise she will only harm her own interests and those who love her in the end.

These are all Shuyao summed up from the sufferings, loves and hates, what she saw, thought, and heard in her previous life. She keeps reminding herself, and she will also remind her little sister Qianqian.

Qianqian is also an elf who is as big as a little ghost, knowing that sister Yaoer is reminding her to call someone.Although she was not very happy, she turned to Mu Shuiling: "Hello big sister, big sister sit down."

Shuyao and Qianqian's "initiative" made Mu Shuiling a step up, and then she felt a little more comfortable, and walked forward with a smile: "Sister Yaoer, Qianqian, are you playing chess? Uh, what's the way this is going?" ? Why can't I understand it?"

Shuyao had no choice but to explain roughly: "This is backgammon, which is much simpler than our usual Go."

Mu Shuiling pouted secretly.Xia Shuyao is not good at Go, is she?What kind of backgammon did you make!What a waste of things left by our ancestors.Hmph, that's right. After peeling off the pretty skin, he's still a common man at heart. How can he have the pleasure of playing Go?Not that much either.

Mu Shuiling has been regarded very highly since she was a child, and has a lofty ambition of "carrying the daughter of the concubine, marrying the eldest son, and being the head of the house". She has put a lot of effort into playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.In the eyes of Aunt Hong and Mu Shuiling.These are the differences between our daughters and ordinary girls, and they are a symbol of status.Women's red and embroidery can be replaced by maids, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can only be expressed by themselves, so naturally it takes more trouble.

Finally found an opportunity to prove her excellence and emphasize her sense of existence as the eldest sister. Mu Shuiling was very excited: "Qianqian, Go is a skill with elegance and connotation. It can cultivate one's morality. How can you do such nonsense? Come on, sir. Will my sister teach you how to play go in a serious manner? Uh... sorry, sister Yaoer, I'm not talking about you, uh... I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that Qianqian is still young, and the teaching is crooked now. It's hard to change. Qianqian is my sister...I...uh...I have no other intentions, Sister Yaoer, as long as you want, I can teach you Go.

Shu Yao smiled and didn't say anything, she didn't feel the need to explain anything to Mu Shuiling.

Mother Liu shook her head secretly, this Mu Shuiling...is too out of tune!It's nothing more than hypocrisy, but still so self-righteous!

Shuyao and Liu's mother showed disdain, but the little Qianqian didn't know how to hide it: "Hey, why does sister Yao'er want you to teach? The last time elder brother played Go with sister Yao'er in sister Yao'er's house, he lost to Yao'er." My sister is gone, and my father also said that sister Yaoer's chess skills...what... yes, extraordinary chess skills. Do you know what is "extraordinary"? It is very good, my mother told me."

Although Qianqian is young, she is like her third elder brother Mu Yongjing, with a particularly sharp tongue, connecting several "Sister Yao'er" in one breath, like a tongue twister, which makes people dizzy and can't help laughing.

Mu Shuiling's pretty face flushed, she couldn't believe it.How can it be?Big brother lost Go to Xia Shuyao?How can it be?Who doesn't know that Mu Yongqi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Weiyuan, is best at Go?Every time there is a gathering in the mansion, there are always people who challenge the eldest brother, but over the years, only two people have beaten the eldest brother, one is the 50-year-old Tang University scholar, and the other is the poor family champion Xu Boenxu University scholar.

Xia Shuyao is a 13-year-old girl, even if she can play Go, how can she have such superb chess skills?

It's incredible!Mu Shuiling thought to himself, and murmured, "How is it possible?"

"How is it impossible?" The answering voice came from outside the door.

Shuyao and the others turned their heads and saw that it was Yao Xuelan who just came back, Yao Xuelan glanced at the unreliable concubine, and said indifferently: "Yaoer's Go is even inferior to your elder brother, so why do you teach her? If you don’t believe me, why don’t you guys compete for a game?”

As soon as Yao Xuelan walked to the door, she heard Mu Shuiling blasphemy, she was really angry and funny.This concubine usually behaves cowardly and dare not speak up, but she never expected to have such confidence.It's a pity that he is completely a frog in a well, and he is beyond his control.

Yao Xuelan couldn't help feeling that the marriage with the Ma family had basically been settled. Although the Ma family was an imperial merchant, not a serious official family, and Ma Qilang was not the eldest son, he was not so picky about his wife, but Ma Qilang would most likely become an official in the future Well, if Mu Shuiling doesn't change, if she is still so self-righteous, it's hard to say whether she can live a peaceful life after she gets married in the future.Although, as long as Mu Shuiling didn't make any principled mistakes, it would be impossible for the Hou Mansion to give up, but... well, that's all, as my aunt, I can be considered the most benevolent to her, and in the future How, still depends on her.
