Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 171 Envy
"I always hope that the ranking can be better." Mao Mingxuan replied with a faint smile.

He would not say that he was going for the No. [-] pick.From the ears of others, his ambition might seem a little out of control.

"If only Ling Yun worked as hard as my cousin." Chen Ruzhu couldn't help sighing.

Although Chen Lingyun is a concubine, he is also the only male in this family.When she gets married in the future, he will still inherit the family.If he is promising, she and Chen Ruyu can count on someone to rely on.After all, over the years, Eniang Su's family has not treated Aunt Hu badly.

But probably because this son was not easy to come by, and he was the only one, my Ama inevitably spoiled him a little too much.Speaking of which, he will be a ten-year-old child in two years, but he is still very naughty.

"He's still young, it would be better if he was older." Mao Mingxuan could only answer this sentence.

Chen Ruzhu just sighed casually, and didn't expect Mao Mingxuan to say anything.

After a while, the sun rose higher.The warm look shone on her body, dispelling the coldness of many days.

Chen Ruzhu also came to admire the plum blossoms.This meeting met Mao Mingxuan, and my cousin and cousin were together.

After walking for a while, Chen Ruzhu suggested to sit in the gazebo in the garden.

"There is no wind today, would my cousin sit with me for a while?"

"Okay." Mao Mingxuan nodded.

Chen Ruzhu is a gentle and demure woman.Mao Mingxuan lived in the Chen family again.Since she sent the invitation, he also agreed.

Little Huzi went to get hot tea and snacks, while Chen Ruzhu's maid went to get cotton cushions.There are stone benches in the gazebo, which is still a bit cold.

"It's not easy for uncle to collect this variety of plum blossoms." Mao Mingxuan took the initiative to provoke the topic.

"Yes. Ahma likes plum blossoms. Some of them were brought back from other places." Chen Ruzhu said: "At first, I couldn't keep them alive, and Ahma felt very distressed. Later, I hired a gardener who specializes in plum blossoms. Just took care of a garden of plum blossoms."

"That uncle has put a lot of thought into it." Mao Mingxuan admired the plum blossoms in the garden.

"Ama often said that if you don't pay attention to the things you like, your life will be too boring." Chen Ruzhu laughed.

"Uncle is right." Mao Mingxuan nodded in agreement, and said, "In life, you can't wait to die. It's better to pursue something."

"As a man, it is natural to work hard. Like me waiting for a woman, but I can only stay in the backyard for the rest of my life, and I can't pursue anything if I want to pursue it." Chen Ruzhu sighed.

From birth to marriage to life and death.A woman's whole life is trapped in the four corners of the world.Pursuing such words is only for men.

"Cousin doesn't have to be so negative." Looking at the sadness in Chen Ruzhu's eyes, Mao Mingxuan couldn't help comforting him: "Even if the freedom is restricted, there are still many things to do. Some people live for fame and fortune, while others People can live only for their hobbies. Even if they only love food, if they are willing to study it all their lives, they can enjoy themselves.”

Chen Ruzhu thought about it, and after a while, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "This is the first time I've heard this kind of statement. It makes sense."

"That's what Tongtong said." Mao Mingxuan said with a smile, with a bit of pride in his tone.

Chen Ruzhu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Tongtong was Mao Tongtong.

"The third younger sister has her own ideas." Chen Ruzhu smiled, slightly surprised in her heart.

When Mao Tongtong lived in her house before, although she didn't dislike her like Chen Ruyu did, she didn't think she was outstanding either.That is, the feeling of a little sister next door.But she didn't think that she could say such words, as if she had a thorough understanding of life.

"En." Mao Mingxuan didn't praise Mao Tongtong too much, but the smile on his face became more obvious.

Chen Ruzhu suddenly felt envious of Mao Tongtong.It should be a very happy thing to have a brother like Mao Mingxuan.

The two chatted well, and did not notice that there were other people in the garden.

Su looked at her eldest daughter and Mao Mingxuan sitting in the gazebo talking and laughing from a distance, and the fire in her heart started to flare up.

But Chen Junjie was also standing beside her, so he couldn't let her speak out.

"Mingxuan and Ruzhu can really chat," Chen Junjie said.

Su looked sideways at Chen Junjie, but found a faint smile on his face, and her face turned pale.

"Let's go, let's go over and listen to what the two children are talking about!" Chen Junjie said.

"Okay." Su replied.The smile on his face was forced.

It was Little Huzi who first discovered Chen Junjie and Su's coming.

Mao Mingxuan and Chen Ruzhu quickly stood up and greeted them.

"You two are quite comfortable." Chen Junjie said with a smile.

"Ama, Erniang." Chen Ruzhu's face was slightly flushed.

It was a chance encounter, so she didn't think much about it.But this meeting was seen by my Ama and Er Niang, but they were shy for no reason.

"Uncle, aunt." Mao Mingxuan nodded slightly, with a natural expression, and said, "The weather is fine today, and I wanted to come to admire the plum blossoms, so I happened to meet my cousin."

"The plum blossoms in my garden are not bad." Chen Junjie said quite complacently.

"Uncle really put a lot of thought into it. It's the first time I've seen some species!" Mao Mingxuan said.

Hearing the praise of his plum blossom, the smile on Chen Junjie's face became even bigger.

"It's rare for me to take a rest today, let's talk about it."

"Okay!" Mao Mingxuan also became interested.

He is a chess player.When I was in Yangzhou, although Mao Chengyun was not good at chess, there were a few friends in my classmates who were good at chess, and they often made appointments to play chess together.When he came to the capital, he always stayed alone in the yard, and Uncle Chen was busy, so there was no one to play chess.

Su sent someone to get the chess pieces and the chessboard, while he and Chen Ruzhu stood aside to watch the battle.

Chen Junjie's chess skills are actually not that good.But Mao Mingxuan rarely got an opponent now, so he didn't care about that much.

Of course, in order to play a longer round, he would occasionally release water for Chen Junjie.

"Hey, I still lost." Chen Junjie put down the chess piece in his hand and shook his head.

Mao Mingxuan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle accepts."

Chen Junjie shook his head and said, "If you didn't let me, I would have lost."

"It's because I'm not good at chess, and my uncle noticed it." Mao Mingxuan laughed.

"Besides, I won't play chess with you in the future." Chen Junjie laughed.

Chen Ruzhu glanced at Mao Mingxuan with some admiration.My Ama is much older than her cousin, but her chess skills over the years are still inferior to her cousin.It can be seen that my cousin plays chess at a very high level!
Su's was on the sidelines, but she couldn't stand it any longer.Although Mao Mingxuan won now, she didn't feel much admiration, she just said: "The master is only focused on playing chess, it's almost time for lunch. Besides, the pavilion is ventilated everywhere after all, so don't catch a cold That's good."
