I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 678 Intrigue
Xia Ying also nodded and said: "And as I said, I only give them the time for a stick of incense. In fact, the children are very curious, so they went out to touch things a lot, and the time passed quickly. The time of the stick of incense They can't go very far, at most ten feet away, and then they come back."

After hearing the magistrate's wife, she nodded. "Exactly."

Think about it, Mao Zhifu has learned from the experience and lessons from last time, and this time he has also arranged double the number of people on Lantern Street, so the safety of the street can be guaranteed.

She was also relieved.

Seeing this, the wife of the second son of the magistrate couldn't help covering her lips and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu is really eloquent, no wonder she has made the whole family obedient. Now not only the younger sister obeys you, but even the mother believes in you." No doubt. Later, I will invite you to come over to my room for a while, and you will teach me your skills!"

What she said...

It's clearly accusing the prefect's wife of being biased!
Madam Zhifu's complexion immediately turned ugly.

Seeing it, Xia Ying sighed softly: This is the disadvantage of having a bunch of children.My own children may not feel that much, but there will always be comparisons between daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then everyone feels that they are at a disadvantage, and that their parents-in-law are partial to others.Then unconsciously, a few words will come out of my mouth.

Therefore, the son in the family really doesn’t need too much, just enough.

Thinking of this in her heart, Xia Ying smiled. "Second young lady, look at what you said! I can make everyone believe in me, because I have always treated them with sincerity. They feel my sincerity, and they will naturally return my sincerity. .There is actually no secret to the communication between anyone, it’s just a sincere treatment. Just like the second young lady, I think you have such a good relationship with the magistrate’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so you must have been using a Treat Madam Zhifu sincerely, right?"

The second young lady was choked.

What Xia Ying said, the one who hides the needle in the cotton, almost pointed at her nose and scolded her for being insincere, she knew how to plan all day long!

However, Xia Ying dug a hole for her at the end of the sentence, so that she could not refute and could only hold her nose and jump into it.Otherwise, she would admit to being insincere to others!

This kind of thing can be done, how can she admit it?
Look at Madam Zhifu again, she is staring at herself coldly!It is clear that her mother-in-law is also very dissatisfied with what she said just now.

The second young lady immediately smiled all over her face, and she nodded quickly. "Of course, my mother-in-law has always treated me like a daughter, and I also respect my mother-in-law as my own mother in my heart. Mother, don't you think so?"

She took the initiative to go to the magistrate's side, and kept smiling at her.

Madam Zhifu snorted softly. "I saw the second boy, he is doing well."

At this time, the activity of guessing lantern riddles over there gradually showed some signs, and several people were selected and sent to the high stage because they answered ten questions correctly in a row.

Among them is the second son of the prefect.

The second young lady saw it, and she immediately looked proud. "That's right, Xianggong has always been the best student among so many brothers! He still got the fame together with the eldest brother! He used to be the one who answered the most lantern riddles at home, but this time so many people came together , it will be difficult for him to win the first place! There must be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger here!"

The words in her mouth obviously didn't match the smug look on her face.

In fact, looking at the expression of the second young lady, she clearly felt that her man would definitely get the 100 taels of silver, right?
The magistrate's wife has been with this daughter-in-law for several years, and of course she understands the virtues of this daughter-in-law.She immediately said coldly: "To be a human being, you have to be more humble. You must know that there are heavens and people outside the sky and there are people outside the sky. Therefore, it is better to be in awe of the unknown when dealing with people."

The corner of the Second Young Madam's mouth curled disdainfully, but she responded respectfully. "Yes, mother taught me the right thing."

This plastic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is like this in front of so many outsiders, one can imagine how far the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are fighting each other in private.

Xia Ying glanced at Miss Zhifu. "Do you perform this every day in your family?"

"I don't know, maybe! I usually don't play with them very much." Miss Zhifu said.

She was originally a shy person, and she didn't even get close to her parents, let alone these sister-in-laws.

Xia Ying nodded. "Then let's not talk about it, let's continue watching the good show!"

With the continuous influx of people guessing lantern riddles ahead, not many people can actually get up to the high platform in the end.

Until Gu Yuanhao came back with a group of little radishheads, there were only a dozen or so of them who could be shortlisted!
Six young masters from the magistrate's mansion went together, but in the end only the second young master was shortlisted, and the remaining five all returned home.

In contrast, the Second Young Madam's chin was raised even higher.

Xia Ying was noncommittal about this.

Mao Zhifu is capable, and the magistrate's wife is also generous and wise. Of course, the children they gave birth to have a high IQ.So, she can totally understand that a child can be shortlisted.

Then, the Second Young Madam does have something to be proud of!

And she can also watch the fun in a big way, why not do it?
Soon, there were several more people on the high platform.But if you count them, there are no more than twenty.

At this time, Xia Ying suddenly heard Gu Yuanhao shouting——

"elder brother!"

Xia Ying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Brother Hao, what are you talking about? Did you see your brother?"

"Well, there!"

Gu Yuanhao pointed towards the surging crowd ahead.

Xia Ying looked over, but only saw a mass of black heads, she didn't even see a single hair of Gu Yuanlong.

But immediately, she heard a loud shout from ahead——

"Students of White Deer Academy, come to participate in the Lantern Riddles Conference!"

Sure enough, from White Deer Academy!

Then it is really possible that her Brother Long is in it!
The Second Young Madam was complacent just now.As a result, when she heard this cry, she began to panic.

"Students of Bailu Academy, what are they doing here to participate in the Lantern Riddles Conference? With them here, why are others playing?"

Started to be cowardly so soon?

So the Second Young Madam didn't trust her husband so much?Xia Ying was very surprised.

The magistrate's wife looked calm: "The students of Bailu Academy are good at reading, but they don't have to be good at guessing lantern riddles! Didn't the second boy also go to the academy to study for a few years?"

The second young lady nodded slightly. "Mother said so."

It's just that her chin, which had been poking up to the sky before, fell back to the distance after all.

Looking ahead again, as a notification sounded, the surroundings soon became quiet.

Bailu Academy is a big name in Jiangbian Province, and now the students of Bailu Academy come to participate in the guessing meeting, which can be said to add another layer of brilliance to today's Lantern Festival event!

Ordinary people are fortunate enough to see the demeanor of the students of Bailu Academy, and they will brag about it when they go back!

Not to mention that it wasn't just one student who showed up today, but a group of them!
