Your daughter's strategy

A group of girls in the room gulped their saliva, Xu Miaoyun tasted it, and said: "I used ham, sea rice, and fish meatballs, and I also used green bamboo shoots to remove the greasy, which is different from what I ate before. way?"

Xu Jinghan pursed her lips and smiled: "Your tongue is really good. I specially served a bowl of soup for you to taste. I didn't expect you to know it once you tasted it." , as if deliberately annoying people, he ate the rest in one go.

Gingko was very disappointed when she saw the bottom of the soup bowl. The second girl's craftsmanship has always been rare.

Xu Miaoyun ate the Buddha Jumping the Wall, played a prank again, and finally regained some energy, went to Zhang's house to make lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival with Zhang Baoer, and knowing the past, she hoped to make a lantern by herself to commemorate her grandfather and parents.

Zhang Baoer has a lot of ideas, but she is clumsy when she moves her hands. It is not as good as Xu Miaoyun. Xu Miaoyun ran around the Zhang family for three days, and finally made a decent lotus lantern. She ran over to show off to Xu Jinghuan, but Xu Jinghuan was busy. Then discuss with Xu Run'an how to accommodate the guests from the capital who are coming to the door.

The person said in the letter was the old mother whom Yu's mother and Mrs. He had photographed. The Xu family had made up their minds to refuse this marriage, so how to refuse would take a lot of effort.

The eldest lady was so angry that when she thought about it, she scolded the He family for being useless. She relied on her power to promise her daughter to a concubine as a daughter-in-law, and even sent a servant to look after her. Send someone to see, which family's rules are this? It's really shameless to ignore the He family and claim to be a scholarly family.

Xu Peining was like a normal person. Xu Miaoyun asked her why she was not worried. She said: "This marriage is probably Mrs. He's own idea. I don't know about others. My aunt will definitely not agree. My aunt wrote a letter in advance to tell us. It is clear that it is to give us time to prepare how to reject this marriage, it seems that Mrs. He has made her own decision, and my aunt wants to object, but because of her mother-in-law, it is difficult to refuse."

Xu Miaoyun said: "What should we do when the He family comes?" Xu Peining said with confidence, "Don't worry about it, I have my own way to make her retreat in spite of difficulties."

Two days later, Mama Yu and Mama Wan came to the door with gifts. As usual, they went to kowtow to Mrs. Xu. After admiring the things, Xu Peining calmly read paintings and calligraphy in the yard, but Xu Miaoyun couldn't bear it and ran to the old lady's place to watch secretly.

Wan's mother smiled and said: "... I often heard that the old lady is merciful. It was really good to see you today. Our old lady often mentions you at home. This time when my mother is here, she wants me to follow her and say hello to her."

The old lady smiled and said, "How is your old lady? I heard that several brothers in your family have passed the exam."

Wan's mother smiled and said: "This is all our master's idea. He said that although our children are not able to rely on the imperial examinations for food, they can practice and learn in the end. Knowing the hard work of scholars, they can study hard, so that they will not lose the face of their ancestors." .”

The old lady said: "Mr. He became a first-rank official and then entered the cabinet. It is enough for the descendants to follow him to gain a job. I remember the situation when Mr. He studied hard. Our grandfather once said that if we talk about hard work In the whole court, there is no one comparable to He Wenyuan, so it was accepted that he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and I also hope that he can do some practical things for the country."

The smile on Wan's mother's face froze, but Xu Miaoyun secretly applauded. Wan's mother said that the descendants of the He family did not need to take the imperial examination, because she wanted to show off the power of Mr. He, but the power of the He family was all due to Mr. Xu's promotion back then. In terms of seniority, the He family will always be a head lower than the Xu family.

Mama Wan was still embarrassed and lowered her head in embarrassment, but the old lady took a sip of tea comfortably, saw Xu Miaoyun poking her head behind the screen with her sharp eyes, and waved to her with a smile: "Come here, Yun'er."

Xu Miaoyun embarrassedly ran over to salute: "Grandmother, I heard that my aunt sent someone here. I'm curious, so come and have a look."

The old lady smiled and said, "You know Mama Yu." Then she pointed to Mama Wan and said, "This is Mama Wan who is next to Mrs. He."

Xu Miaoyun gave a little blessing: "Hello, Mama Wan."

Mama Wan hurriedly stood up and said, "It's really a shame."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and sat down next to the old lady. The old lady smiled and said, "This is my little granddaughter. She has always been unruly. I told you to read a joke."

Mama Wan hadn't reacted from the shock yet. Mama Yu said that the third girl from the Xu family had mediocre looks, but now she looked at her with bright eyebrows and white teeth, red lips and white teeth, and an upright demeanor.The eldest girl and the second girl that everyone admires from mother must not be the same as fairies.

Yu's mother smiled and said, "Hello third girl, last time you said that the rouge in the capital is good, this time my wife asked my servant to bring some over."

Xu Miaoyun said with a smile: "Thank you for remembering, the few boxes of rouge sent by my aunt last time, they all agreed to take them away from me. I thought I would wait until the Chinese New Year to come to my mother. I didn't expect that Yu's mother It was just in time for the rain."

Yu's mother smiled and said: "If the girl likes it, I will bring it to you when I come back."

The old lady said with a smile: "Don't be naughty. When Mama Yu and Mama Wan come, they will definitely stay for two days. You can go to your elder sister and help her arrange two rooms."

Xu Miaoyun agreed, and looked at Mama Wan with a smile. Mama Wan hurriedly said: "I'm being rude. I haven't met the girls and masters in the house since I came here." The old lady smiled and said: "This is the truth."

Called Xu Miaoyun again: "Go and call your elder sister and second sister over."

Then he explained with a smile: "My eldest grandson hasn't come back after going out to meet guests, and the younger grandson is studying behind closed doors, so it's not easy to meet guests."

Wan's mother hurriedly flattered: "The two young masters are busy people, and the servants dare not disturb them."

Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan came over, and Mama Yu greeted her with a smile, but Mama Wan was stunned and lost her mind, as if she had been hit. , with vermilion lips, every frown and smile are full of style, but she has low eyebrows and is pleasing to the eye, docile and docile, and her light-colored clothes can't hide her beauty. It seems that it is not an exaggeration for her mother to say that she is all over the country.

The old lady smiled and said, "These are my two unworthy granddaughters."

Mama Wan secretly smiled wryly. When she was about to leave, the wife was reluctant to let the eldest grandson go out. She insisted on replacing the candidate with the second wife's son without telling the master. Even if the eldest grandson He Bingshu is not worthy, she has no face to mention this marriage.

Mama Wan returned the gift courteously, and Xu Peining smiled and said, "Mama Wan is new here, so she must stay here for two days. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please don't be polite." Seeing Wan's mother's expression from arrogant to cramped to depressed, she secretly smiled inwardly.

She can't guarantee anything else. The three daughters of the Xu family are the first to be sent to the palace to be nobles. What kind of thing is the He family? , and now they are trying to get married again, and the toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't take a mirror to look at himself.

Coming out from the old lady's place, without outsiders, Wan's mother complained to her mother: "You are really, you didn't tell me that the girl from the Xu family is so good, it made me lose my face for nothing."

Mother Yu said with a smile: "I told the old lady, but you all think I'm farting, don't believe me, what can I do."

Wan's mother was very remorseful and depressed, and when she went to the old lady's place, she was a little more flattering.

It's just that the maid of the He family came and didn't need to be with her all the time. Xu Miaoyun was free again. Zhang Baoer was detained by Mrs. Zhang for a few days and was annoyed again. She ran to Xu's house to encourage Xu Miaoyun to go out to play. Guest, how can I go out to play."

Zhang Baoer said: "It's just a decent servant girl, and I still need you to accompany me every day? The Ghost Festival is coming soon, Fayuan Temple will be a water and land ashram, let's go and see the excitement."

Xu Miaoyun said: "If you're really bored, come and talk to me, and I'll be idle too."

Zhang Bao'er was a little disappointed. After going back to quiet for two days, she urged Xu Miaoyun to go to the building for dinner, saying that she was a treat. Xu Miaoyun couldn't bear her begging, so she went to Xu Jinghuan, Xu Jinghuan quickly agreed, saying: "I happened to have an appointment. Zicheng said, when the time comes, we will go together and have someone to accompany us."

Dong Zicheng is the only son of Mr. Dong, the richest man in Hangzhou. Mrs. Dong had a difficult heir. She only gave birth to such a son in her 30s. Love is like a treasure. What is rare is that Dong Zicheng did not develop the bad habits of a dude. After meeting Xu Jinghuan, he was impressed by Xu Jinghuan's talents and learning. The two called brothers and often studied together.

In this year's hospital examination, Xu Jinghuan was selected as the leader of the case, and Dong Zicheng also passed the No.10 exam. Mr. Dong couldn't help being overjoyed, and even regarded Dong Zicheng as a treasure. Dong Zicheng and the Xu family were also close. Sweet and sweet, the old lady treated him like a grandson.

When Xu Jinghuan took Xu Miaoyun and Zhang Baoer to the building outside the building, Dong Zicheng had already arrived and ordered dishes, and greeted Miaoyun politely to take a seat: "I know that sister Miaoyun is coming, so I specially ordered your favorite braised lion head , steamed crab noodles, and Buddha jumps over the wall."
