Sir, why is your painting style so normal?

The three cousins ​​​​of Zhao Miaomiao are similar in age. They married around the same time, so it is inevitable that they will be compared.

Zhao Xiangxiang married He Zhihe, a child born in Hejia Village. The He family's family background was similar to that of the Chen family.

The Xu family that Zhao Yanyan married belongs to the town. Nine members live in a large house with [-] acres of land. There is also a steamed bun noodle shop in the county that does good business.

It is much better than ordinary families. There is no need to go to the fields, and the mother-in-law does laundry and cooking at home. It can be regarded as a small businessman's home.

The Xu family is richer than the He family, but the Xu family is engaged in business, and they are scholars, farmers, and merchants. Businessmen have the lowest status. Naturally, they are not as good as scholars in the eyes of the villagers. He Zhihe was born in a middle school at a young age!
And Zhao Xiangxiang always acted conceited and aloof every time she returned to her parents' home. He Zhihe also liked to show off the ink in his stomach, and his eyes were full of distaste for the copper stench of Zhao Yanyan and his wife.

Now He Zhihe has failed the examination for several years. He still failed to pass the scholar examination last year. The He family was even divided, although in the end he was forcibly suppressed by Old Man He and was not divided into families.

But can Aunt Zhao take pleasure in misfortune?
How could Zhao Yanyan not take the opportunity to push Zhao Xiangxiang to the soles of her feet and let out the anger she had been suppressing for so many years!

Zhao Miaomiao shook her head.

Look at Yan Yanmei's dress, it costs one or two taels at least, which is not a small sum of money. In order to slap Sister Xiangxiang in the face, she really spent a lot of money!

There are two long tables in the yard of the second grandpa’s house, with tea, pastries, melon seeds and candies on them.

Chen Shouxing held Xiao Pangdun in his arms and went to the table where the man on the left was sitting.

Zhao Miaomiao took Ruirui to the table where the child and the woman on the right were sitting, and was pressed into the position between Zhao Yanyan and Xiangxiang.

Zhao Miaomiao: "..."

Seeing her, Zhao Yanyan and Zhao Xiangxiang felt complicated. Of course, Zhao Miaomiao was the prettiest and best embroiderer among the three of them.

Everyone understands that Zhao Xiangxiang married a scholar and hoped to become a scholar and a lady in the future!

Zhao Yanyan didn't want to live a hard life, so she chose the wealthy Xu family.

But Zhao Miaomiao was clearly not stupid and was very smart, but why did she choose to follow her great-grandmother's old path and choose a poor boy who had nothing but good looks.

Zhao Yanyan retracted her thoughts and took Zhao Miaomiao's hand with a smile, "Back then, everyone said that Sister Xiangxiang had the best marriage and was the future scholar lady! Sister Miaomiao, you had the most unsatisfactory marriage."

"Now I see that Sister Miao Miao's face is still so tender, and she is getting more and more beautiful like a flower. One look at my brother-in-law, he knows how to care for others. Even if he is poor, he does not let his sister suffer. It is not like some people who marry the best. , the days are getting worse and worse, I have only been married for a few years, but I already look more than ten years older!"

When she said this, her eyes fell on Zhao Xiangxiang from beginning to end. After a while, she lowered her eyes and said, "Sister Miao Miao did not marry the wrong person. The people in the village were dazzled, and my sister felt at ease!"

Zhao Xiangxiang touched her face, bit her lip, and stared at Zhao Yanyan and Zhao Miaomiao.

Yanyan didn't mention Xiangxiang by name, but no one sitting here could tell that it was her.

Aunt Zhao Tang, who was Zhao Xiangxiang's mother, turned blue and white, and her hands were shaking with anger.

Zhao Miaomiao sighed in her heart, pushed Zhao Yanyan lightly, and said with caution, "Yanyan, stop teasing people, my life is just like that, just like the people in the village, it's not as comfortable as yours, look at what you are like Who wouldn’t be envious of the outfit! Young Mistress~”

Young Mistress~
Zhao Yanyan unconsciously raised her lips and said, "Sister Miao Miao is a bad example!"

Zhao Miaomiao smiled and said nothing. She just wanted to divert her attention, but had no intention of trying to please anyone. She turned her head and looked at Ruirui who was greeting the elders around the table.

Zhao Xiangxiang heard Zhao Yanyan's triumphant laughter in her ears, and she clenched her hands tighter. She cursed sourly to herself that there are a few stinky riches out there. When my husband-in-law is admitted to the scholar examination, you will all have to bow your head and fawn over me!Ruirui turned around, returned to Zhao Miaomiao, stood up on tiptoes, and sat down on the stool.

He blinked. Although he didn't like these two aunts very much, he still turned around and said hello to Zhao Yanyan and Zhao Xiangxiang, "Aunt Tang, hello, Aunt Tang!"

Zhao Xiangxiang responded casually.

Zhao Yanyan sighed, her smile stopped, and she looked at Ruirui's fair and delicate face. Every move she made looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

Then look at the son next to him who is so full of food that the table is covered with melon seeds and peanut shells, "Niu Niu!"

Niu Niu raised her little head, still cracking melon seeds in her mouth, and looked at her doubtfully, "Mom?"

Zhao Miaomiao didn't pay attention to their movements and handed her eldest son a cup of tea. She watched lovingly as he lowered his head and drank slowly while holding the teacup.

Zhao Yanyan looked at Ruirui, who was well-behaved and gentle, and became even more lovable.

Seeing that his mother was silent, Niu Niu picked up a peanut, lowered his head and bit open the peanut shell hard.

Zhao Yanyan was even more upset. This child didn't deprive him of food at home, but deprived him of water!Why do you just keep eating?

If Niu Niu knew what his mother was thinking, he would definitely have an innocent look on his face. It's obviously his mother and you asked me to come to my grandpa's house. Don't play with these losers like my cousins. What can I do if I don't eat?

Zhao Yanyan was just puzzled for a while. The Chen family was so poor. No matter how good-looking Ruirui was or how much he looked like a young master from a wealthy family, he would only look like him after all!

She shook her head, looked at Zhao Xiangxiang's empty wrist, and said loudly, pretending to be confused and surprised, "Why didn't Sister Xiangxiang bring her dowry bracelet? Could it be that she exchanged it for money to give to brother-in-law Zhihe to take the imperial examination!"

Everyone at the table looked at Zhao Xiangxiang's wrist, then glanced at the silver bracelets on Zhao Yanyan and Zhao Miaomiao's wrists, and then looked at their clothes.

Zhao Xiangxiang's hands went stiff and she laughed dryly, "No, I took off the bracelet yesterday and forgot to put it on."

Zhao Yanyan smiled and said, "Oh~ I'll go see you tomorrow. Sister Xiangxiang must bring a silver bracelet!"

Zhao Xiangxiang froze immediately, "I have something to do tomorrow and won't be at home!"

Zhao Yanyan said, "Then I will go the day after tomorrow, otherwise Sister Xiangxiang will tell me directly when you are free, and I will..."

Second Mistress frowned and interrupted, "Yanyan!"

Zhao Yanyan smiled and closed her mouth.

Everyone looked at Zhao Xiangxiang's ugly face, and they didn't understand. Xiangxiang was really used as a dowry to take the imperial examination for He Zhihe!
Seeing that Miaomiao, who married into a poor family, was living better than Xiangxiang, the second mistress lowered her eyes and sighed.

Aunt Zhaotang felt the most uncomfortable because her daughter had lost her dowry bracelet. The first time she saw someone, she discovered that if her son-in-law was admitted to be a scholar, he would be paid for the dowry, but he failed to pass the exam. How long will it take for the hard days to end?
Zhao Miaomiao didn't know what to say. She had persuaded Xiangxiang to get married, but Xiangxiang thought she was jealous.

She was speechless. You must know that the He family first came to her house to ask for marriage, and after being rejected, they turned around and asked to marry Sister Xiangxiang!

She rejected the He family's marriage proposal because she didn't believe in any Zhihe and didn't want to gamble on a person's character and knowledge. But the He family immediately turned around and approached her cousin, which meant she had bad character.
