Views:

Mammy Zhang didn't notice Chu Jinmiao's eyes, she was still sighing to herself. The luck in this world is really hard to say. The Zhao family is not very favored, but she also encountered such a thing as holding the wrong child, which made the old lady Chu have a lot of criticisms against the Zhao family. Although Chu Jinyao grew up outside and is not close to Mrs. Chu, even so, Chu Jinyao is the bloodline of the Chu family, how can she wrong her bloodline for an inexplicable outsider of Chu Jinmiao

Ever since Chu Jinyao got lost outside the Rongning Hall that day, the old lady knew that the second-class maids next to Chu Jinyao were young girls who had just entered the mansion. The maid is still like this, one can imagine how disrespectful Zhao should be to the people around Chu Jinyao. But the more the old lady reminded Zhao to pay attention to Chu Jinyao, the more Zhao felt that Chu Jinmiao was pitiful. Everyone is afraid that Chu Jinyao will be wronged, so is Chu Jinmiao left alone? Instead, the Zhao family cherished Chu Jinmiao more and more.

Mammy Zhang is an outsider, and she can see it clearly. She also thinks that the Zhao family is confused. After all, Chu Jinmiao is a farmer's daughter, and her parents can say that their hearts are sinister, and they actually exchange the blood of Houmen for the sake of prosperity and wealth. , In these thirteen years, they have treated the daughter of the Chu family harshly. The Marquis of Changxing and Madam Chu did not clean up the Su family severely, but they were already looking at Chu Jinmiao's face. Mammy Zhang could see clearly, but the people from the Zhao family were in the game, and they still had so many years of kinship.

Mammy Zhang secretly sighed, if the Zhao family continues like this, sooner or later, the relatives will be distracted. I didn't see that the big girl was all looking at the fifth girl. If Zhao's doing this, even the big girl would be chilled. But Mammy Zhang couldn't remind Zhao that although she was Zhao's grandmother, she had grown up with Zhao since she was a child, but she did not dare to compare with Chu Jinmiao. If Mammy Zhang vaguely mentioned the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao would tell Chu Jinmiao in a blink of an eye, and then Mammy Zhang would not be able to eat and walk around. These four girls are such powerful characters.

Chu Jinmiao heard that Mammy Zhang changed her words temporarily, she sneered in her heart, but smiled kindly on her face, and said, "Mammy, can you go to the small kitchen and help me make a golden cake? I suddenly thought Eat your snacks."

When Mammy Zhang heard this, the expression on her face was stunned, and she hurriedly looked at the Zhao family. Zhao Shi smiled and said, "Miao'er wants to eat, you can do it, it won't take much effort anyway."

Mammy Zhang sighed in her heart, Mrs. Zhao still couldn't figure it out! Chu Jinmiao pushed her away, maybe she wanted to say something, but the Zhao family agreed. In addition to her anger, Mammy Zhang also hated that iron was not steel.

How old are you, how come you don't even have the ability to distinguish

After Mammy Zhang left, Chu Jinmiao hooked her lips, then sat in front of Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Mother, I'm not your biological daughter, but I occupied the name of the first-born lady, and let Chu Jinyao be there. Thirteen years of living abroad. Do you hate me?"

"No!" Zhao Shi was taken aback, "Why do you think of saying such a thing?"

Chu Jinmiao lowered her eyes and wanted to cry: "I also want to be filial to my mother, but others say that I occupy the magpie's nest, lust for glory, and the real daughter suffers outside. It's all my fault, mother. , my daughter will not be able to be filial to you in this life. In a few days, you can send me back to the countryside. In the next life, I will give birth to a good child, and I will be filial to you, so as not to be scolded by others pointing at the spine. "

Zhao Shi never expected to hear such a remark, she was stunned for a while, and then became furious: "Who told you this?"

Chu Jinmiao wiped away her tears and did not speak. The more Zhao Shi looked, the more angry she became: "Is it the servant? The old lady's person? Or Chu Jinyao?"

When it came to Chu Jinyao, Chu Jinmiao shouted, "No, no, don't ask."

"No reason!" Zhao slapped the table angrily, "I thought she was a good one, and she's been safe and sound these few days, but I didn't expect that she would dare to say that to you in secret! Miaoer, don't worry. , Mother will definitely seek justice for you, as long as Mother is here, you can be the lady of the Hou Mansion with peace of mind, don't worry about these things."

"Mother." Chu Jinmiao went to pull Zhao's sleeve, "grandmother said it on purpose, let you be more careful with Chu Jinyao, if you scold Chu Jinyao for me and spread it to my grandmother's ears, she will ask her again. I'm not happy with you."

Zhao shi said the words just now with a burst of anger, and when Chu Jinmiao reminded her, she realized that the old lady was still there. Her mother-in-law was serious and strong, and Mrs. Zhao always served her mother-in-law with all her heart. If Madam Chu intervened, she really couldn't handle Chu Jinyao at will. Zhao Shi was angry and hated, and before she knew it, she turned her anger against her mother-in-law on Chu Jinyao. She gritted her teeth and said, "I still need someone else to speak when I deal with my daughter?"

"That's what I said, but who made Chu Jinyao have the old lady's protection? Even the eldest sister talks to her everywhere. Our mothers are weak, how can we compare with the famous people in front of the old lady?"

"So, she is so precious that no one can control her?"

Chu Jinmiao said: "Mother, don't be angry, the solutions are all made up by people. She is protected by the old lady. Although you can't control her, it is still feasible to find a few nanny for her. She has never received any education. She was used to being poor before, and suddenly came to the rich and noble township. If the discipline is not good, you will definitely be blinded by money and change your temper. Therefore, you have to find her a nanny and take care of her everywhere. , although she will definitely complain about you, but you are doing it for her good! Even grandmother can understand."

"Discipline Mommy?" Zhao shi frowned and repeated dubiously.

"That's right. You give her a stricter mammy, instruct her to manage money and manage people, and you can usually supervise her rules. This is really good for her! If you let her go because you can't bear it, she will Give whatever you want, and sooner or later, her temperament will be bad. If a person is rotten from the root, then no matter how much effort is spent in the future, it will be useless. "

Zhao shi nodded: "You are right, she is my daughter after all, I can't watch her all the time, I can send someone over to discipline her for me. Although she will definitely complain about me, but as long as I know in my heart It's for her good, so I don't ask for these false names." After Zhao shi finished speaking, she looked at Chu Jinmiao with relief: "She said bad things to you, but you repaid your grievances with virtue. It's really kind-hearted to think about her like this. After all, they all grew up in poor parents, and they are not open-minded enough. Suddenly seeing so much money, it is inevitable that they will be deceived and secretly exclude you. Don't care about her. "

"I understand." Chu Jinmiao pursed her lips and smiled.

It was getting late, and Chu Jinmiao had to go back to the hospital to rest. When she went out, she happened to meet Zhao mama coming back with a plate of golden crispy fruit. Seeing Chu Jinmiao, Mama Zhao stopped: "Four girls are leaving now? The fruit has just been fried, do you still want it?"

"I suddenly don't want to eat, mammy can handle it yourself." Chu Jinmiao put her hands in the sleeves and said lightly.

It was Chu Jinmiao who said that she wanted to eat golden crispy fruit in the evening, and she also asked Mammy Zhang to fry it herself. When it was done, she said she didn't want to eat it.

Mammy Zhang didn't speak, she stood aside with a plate of fruit and sent Chu Jinmiao out. Mammy Zhang lowered her head. She felt the moment when she passed by, Chu Jinmiao raised her head and glanced at her very quickly and lightly. Although the glance was light and fleeting, it seemed to be dipped in ice water. The dark needle of the stab hurts the flesh.

In Huang Yiniang's yard, the third girl was complaining in front of the Marquis of Changxing.

"Father, I know that I'm stupid. My mother teaches things, and the four girls can learn it in one go. I can only think about it after I come back. I have to practice until I can handle the lamp every day. Father, you say, I'm so stupid, right? Isn't there a way out?"

"How could that be?" The Marquis of Changxing often came to Huang Yiniang's yard, and even the three girls were often seen. The more times they met, the Marquis of Changxing would inevitably feel more pity for this prostitute. When the Marquis of Changxing saw his daughter's drooping face and a dejected look, he felt even more pity in his heart. He couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Stupid birds fly first, diligence can make up for clumsiness, you are willing to work hard on your own, this is far better than your sisters. . If you stick to it like this, it will always pay off.”

"Is it really going to happen?" The third girl showed a surprised smile, and she frowned immediately and bit her lip in distress, "The fourth sister and the others can understand it after listening to it once in class, and they don't need tuition after they come back. Ri always has to see the lantern, so he can be on par with them. Does my father really blame me for being stupid?"

Aunt Huang listened and added in a timely manner: "It's more than just holding the lamp, every time I go to see the three girls, it's almost dark, and she's still practicing calligraphy and rules in the house."

"It's getting dark and you're still studying?" The Marquis of Changxing was surprised. The girls in the Chu family were all spoiled. The elders were very strict with the young master's homework, but under the girl's name, it was easy. It is already very diligent to be willing to continue to read homework after school, and practice alone until it is dark, this Hou Changxing dare not even think about it. After being surprised, the Marquis of Changxing felt satisfied with the third girl: "Yes, you are so diligent, you will have great success in the future."

Seeing the admiration in Changxinghou's eyes, the third girl was very happy, she put a happy and shy smile on her face, it seemed that she was overjoyed but slightly embarrassed after being appreciated by her father. She knew that Marquis Changxing liked this kind of shy, frank and innocent look the most. The third girl said: "It's good that my father doesn't dislike me. Even if I can't be selected as a companion, it's worth it if I can get my father's reward."

The Marquis of Changxing also smiled and said, "Your grandmother will see that you are so diligent. When choosing a companion for the county chief, intelligence is second, and diligence is the most important thing. The county chief is smart enough, but she is just impatient to study. It would be a good thing to have a diligent person like you around.”

After hearing this, the three girls and Huang Yiniang looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes. Marquis Changxing, do you like the third girl
