Chapter 70 Thousand Machines
Cheng Xueyao did the right thing and felt relieved. Even the sad look on her face was no longer so deep. Xinnuo gave Mrs. Cheng a funny look.

Does the Cheng family want a hypocritical person like Cheng Xueyao?

Mrs. Cheng said: "You guys go down. By the way, Nuo'er, you copy the Cheng family's family rules three times."

The Cheng family rules were left by the first generation of ancestors and were called the Cheng family rules. Later family heads did not add many, but there were still hundreds of them.

Xinnuo had seen it and was speechless about the first generation ancestor of the Cheng family. The family motto he left behind not only required the younger generations to be loyal and filial, but also had regulations on when to get up and when to go to bed.

The first one is to rise at dawn,

Xinnuo took another book of family rules from Mrs. Cheng, and felt a little unhappy. Cheng Xueyao went out with her one after another, deliberately disgusting her: "Sister, grandma asked you to copy the family rules, just practice calligraphy. But I heard that my sister’s handwriting is not very good. I still have a few beginner’s copybooks, so why don’t I have them sent to you?”

So what if Cheng Nuo is the Cheng family's biological daughter? Doesn't she have everything the Cheng family has given to Cheng's daughter?
Xinnuo didn't care at all about Cheng Xueyao's words and deeds showing off her talent. She might have cared about it before. After all, the first thing she felt when she heard this condescending tone was that of embarrassment.

But she quickly let go of this feeling, and said with a smile: "You can only crush me with a comprehensive sense of superiority in these aspects."

Cheng Xueyao looked confused, "Sister, I didn't mean to show you my superiority at all."

Xinnuo sneered and said, "I wonder if your ability to act like that was taught by the Cheng family, like the beautiful calligraphy, or is it something that is in your family's bones?"

As soon as she mentions this, Cheng Xueyao becomes uncontrollably ashamed, bites her lip, twists her body and leaves quickly.

Although the ghost who followed Cheng Xueyao kept cheering her up, it could not alleviate the deep-rooted disgust and disgust she felt because of her background.

Xin Nuo looked at the black shadow that was tightly attached to Cheng Xueyao, walked towards the pear courtyard, and heard a sentence inadvertently.

"It's really useless. These few words can also hit people. If it were me, the daughter of the Cheng family would not be able to make waves at all. Is it so easy to survive more than ten years of getting along with her based on blood ties?"

"But this is fine. The real daughter can suppress the fake daughter's heart and mind, so I can take advantage of it. At that time, it will be the script for the fake daughter's domineering return."

These words, until Cheng Xueyao disappeared, Xin Nuo could still hear them.

As she expected, the real purpose of the ghost next to Cheng Xueyao was to snatch her body.

To remind Cheng Xueyao?

It was too late for Xinnuo to watch the show. Although they heard from their voices that this inexplicable ghost was more cruel, Xinnuo was not afraid at all.

Speaking harshly doesn't mean it will become reality.

Even if it becomes a reality, Xin Nuo is looking forward to it.

The new old lady trimmed the piping of a new dress, and when she lifted it up to check, she saw her Nuoer walking in with a book in her hand.

"You're back," the new lady asked, "I see you don't like the young man named Xu very much, why are you still playing like this?"

As for Nuo'er, they have always been free-spirited. When they were young, they would often run out and play with their friends for most of the time before returning.

So after arriving at Cheng Mansion, the two elders did not restrain her.

Xin Nuo ran to her grandma and sat on a small stool and asked, "My grandpa went out again?"

After arriving in the capital, grandpa seemed to be busier than her and had to go out almost every day.

The old and new lady neatly folded the new clothes in her hands and put them on her knees, "He said there was something he had to go to."

Xinnuo held her grandma's arm, smiled and said coquettishly: "Grandma, does my grandpa have any property in the capital?"

New and old ladies:---

He reached out and pinched her cheek, "What, you want it?"

Xin Nuo shook his head: "I don't want it, I'm just curious. Before, grandpa took me to see the Pisces Gang people fishing. I think grandpa's industry is related to the Pisces Gang."

The new and old lady smiled, this girl is still as smart, as long as she reveals a little about the family affairs, she can't hide it from her.

"What do you think of this dress grandma made for you?"

As she spoke, the old lady patted the clothes on her lap.

Grandma just answered without answering. Xinnuo understood, so she didn't ask any more questions. She took the dress, unfolded it, looked at it, nodded and said, "It's beautiful, grandma, your craftsmanship has improved."

At this time, Jingsi came over with a plate of tea, placed it on the table, and said, "Miss, Mr. Xu just asked someone to deliver a message,"

In front of the old lady, passing a message for an outside man like this is obviously not taking the old lady seriously.

Indeed, from Jingsi's point of view, there is no need to worry about old farm ladies like Mrs. Xin at all.

But this time, before Xinnuo could say anything, Jingsi was interrupted by the old lady Xinnuo saying "presumptuously".

"Kneel down," the new and old lady said with a serious face, which shocked Jingsi.

But she quickly relaxed, took a step back and said, "Old lady,"

"My grandma asked you to kneel down," Xin Nuo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Could it be that I just ground the lotus root starch a few days ago and forgot about it today?

Obviously, after Xinnuo spoke, the blisters on Jingsi's palms that had not grown yet started to hurt again. She did not dare to argue anymore and knelt down with a thud.

The new old lady said: "You are following the young lady. Only if the young lady is good can you have a future, so don't collude with outsiders and lead her to have contact with some unscrupulous men."

Jingsi lowered his head, "I understand."

I don't know how much sincerity there is in these words.

Xinnuo wanted to train her well before, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary. She is closer to Cheng Xueyao who grew up at home.

"Go down." She waved her hand.

After Jingsi retreated, the old lady and the new lady asked Xinnuo, "What do you really think about that young man named Xu?"

Xinnuo held her chin, resting her right leg on her left leg. She swayed and swayed with her skirt. She said casually: "It's fun to tease fools."

New and old lady: "Fool?"

Could it be that the young man surnamed Xu offended his own girl?
Xin Nuo smiled and said: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about it, I have a sense of discretion."

The new old lady said: "Nuer, you are not alone. Although your grandparents don't have any good things, they still have the ability to protect you. If anything happens, you must tell us first."

"Yeah," Xin Nuo nodded obediently.

Afterwards, she ate snacks and drank tea, sitting outside with her grandma and talking, and then her grandpa came back.

As soon as the new and old man came back, he came over and asked: "Nuo'er, did you take two people to file a complaint this morning?"

Xinnuo nodded, "How does grandpa know?"

The new old man turned around and pulled up a small stool and sat down: "I just heard that you helped file the complaint. That man is from the Pisces Gang. How did you get involved in their affairs?"

"Just this morning, I was drinking tea at a tea stall on the corner of the street. The Zhang family members came out of a teahouse. They held Meizi in custody and shouted that they would buy her into a brothel and teach her a lesson. If that was the case, it would be okay. That's all, they wanted to take me away too. That wimp Xu Ruqing slipped away without saying a word. I had no choice but to restrain the young master of the Zhang family and go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint."

Of course, choosing such "troublesome" help is also related to what Chen Dahai said at the time about the Pisces Gang.

The new old man said: "That's good."

I thought Nuo'er had learned some loyalty from somewhere and would take action when he saw so-called "unjust things".

However, with Nuo'er's skill, if it wasn't for the sake of seeking justice for Chen Dahai and his daughter, it would be enough to beat up the Zhang family who tried to molest her.

"It seems that you have a good impression of the Pisces Gang." The old and new man said with a smile.

Xinnuo snorted at the hypocrisy in his heart. It was obvious that the old man would make positive comments about the Pisces Gang from time to time, "Grandpa said they are a good gang, so there should be no mistakes."

The old and new man nodded, "So, in three days, there will be a water showdown between the Thousand Machines Sect and the Pisces Gang. Do you want to help?"

What kind of sect is Qianji Sect?And, how can she help?

"I don't know how to fish."

"This water showdown is not about fishing, but about boat racing on a narrow water island. How about it? Are you interested?"

Xin Nuo asked: "How come the Thousand Machines Sect has a dispute with the Pisces Gang?"

"The Qianji Sect is a small sect that advocates suffering hardships in this life and enjoying blessings in the next life. Because it has the effect of appeasing the poor people, the imperial court is more supportive. Therefore, in just 12 years, the Qianji Sect has grown from Tongzhou in the south to the capital."

"Recently, the Qianji Sect has taken a fancy to a piece of land outside the city and wants to build the sect's facade there. However, the Pisces Gang has bought that land a long time ago, and the two sides cannot reconcile. The Qianji Sect has found many small sects to provide services to the Pisces Gang. Finally, the two sides agreed to hold a regatta. Whoever wins depends on whoever wins."

After the new and old man finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took several sips.

Xinnuo: "It is unreasonable for Qianjijiao to seize other people's land. So why do they choose the method that the Pisces Gang is better at to determine the ownership of the land?"

The new and old man was very pleased. This girl in his family could often see the gist of things. "Although Qianji Sect is good at deceiving poor people, they don't call them Qianji for nothing."

Xin Nuo said to the old man: "Don't show off."

The new and old man smiled and said: "I don't know where they recruited a craftsman who can build boats in their sect, and now they have developed a side business of selling boats. The boats taught by Qianji are indeed good. The same people with the same posture can sail better than ordinary boats." Faster. Therefore, for this confrontation, they must have prepared Clippers in advance."

"That's it for now, do you want to go then?" he asked again.

Xinnuo nodded: "I want to go. If there is such a lively event, I will go and join in the fun."

----

The next morning, Xu Ruqing came to make an appointment with Xinnuo again. Xinnuo was very curious about his purpose and felt very comfortable thinking about the pain in his heart when he bought a hairpin for himself on credit yesterday.

So when he made an appointment, she immediately agreed.

But when she was about to go out, Mrs. Cheng's people came to send a message and asked her to come over and learn etiquette.

Xinnuo is tired of hearing these murmurs. Mrs. Cheng no longer gives her any good things. She also instills some mentality on how to maintain "wealth" in her all day long, which is particularly disgusting.

So he fooled the people of Songheyuan, and Xin Nuo went out around the corner.

Before going out, my grandfather stopped me and gave me some instructions.

"Your master, the old fellow, is back. He is now living in Zhenhuo Pavilion. I'll pay him a visit when I have time. Your two senior brothers also recognized him this morning."

"Uh-huh."

When Xin Nuo went out, she repeatedly agreed.

Then she went out, deliberately taking the road that passed through Cheng Xueyao's Xiayun Courtyard. She happened to see one of Cheng Xueyao's maids coming out of the courtyard, and Xinnuo smiled and waved.

"It's such a burden, could it be that you stole something from the master and want to sell it?"

I don’t know what the eldest maid’s name is, Xinnuo, but she recognizes the second young lady who has forced her young lady to lose control many times. She bowed her knees and said, “Hello, second young lady. My slave Danxia, ​​so that the second young lady knows that this slave is not a thief.” Things, these are all worthless jewelry that we maids have worn out. Every two months we will collect some and send them out to the poor girls who cannot afford hairpins to wear. "

"Then you are really kind."

Xinnuo didn't believe a word of this.

Danxia looked extremely sincere and said, "I would also like to thank our young lady. She never lacks food from us. This approach was also suggested by our young lady."

"Then why doesn't she show kindness?" Xin Nuo looked for loopholes.

Danxia immediately answered without changing her expression: "Miss's jewelry is either gold or silver, agate, jade and the like. Even if such things are broken, they can still be sent to the jewelry store to get new ones. Second Miss We are not like those country people outside who think that people like us just throw the golden bowls one at a time."

Xin Nuo: You are such a slippery talker. I am afraid that when you said those words just now, you were just waiting for yourself to ask questions.

Cheng Xueyao, this maid, is really not simple.

After Danxia finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, raised her hand and slapped her mouth, and said: "I made a mistake, please forgive me, Miss Second."

Xin Nuoheng laughed and said, "If I don't forgive you."

Danxia knelt down and said, "It's beating or punishment, slaves and servants will admit it. As long as it can calm the second lady."

Xinnuo knew what she meant. If he really punished her for such a trivial matter, it would only make people talk about her growing up in the countryside, confirming that she really grew up in the countryside and was poisonous and stupid.

But if she didn't punish her, Danxia's words would really make her feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, this servant girl gave her a sigh of relief for her young lady even though she beat her every step of the way.

But Xinnuo was not afraid of a bad reputation, and was the baggage she was carrying really the broken jewelry they took out to help the poor?
Not necessarily.

Xin Nuo smiled and complied with her, "Since you ask so, I'd be embarrassed not to punish you."
