Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 61 The Trembling Boy

Xu Yingzhen got so angry that she returned to her seat resentfully, picked up the stationery on the book, and dropped it desperately. Suddenly, the top-quality Langhao pen broke from the tip.

Xu Yingzhen's personal maid, Bai Xian, was so frightened that she was dumbfounded.Langhao pens are not cheaper than ordinary soft pens. Langhao pens are made of bristles from the tails of ferocious prairie wolves that are only found in the territory of the northern Tartars. Two pens cannot be made out of a whole wolf tail, let alone this one. The pen is still a high-quality Langhao pen, just this pen is worth dozens of taels of silver!
But it was so easily broken by the lady!

With trembling hands, Bai Xian picked up the pen that had been broken in two, with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to cry but didn't dare.

"What's the matter, are you going to cry again?" Xu Yingzhen looked at Bai Xian impatiently, "Isn't it just a pen, what's the big deal, if it breaks, go to the warehouse and get another one!"

"Miss, this is very expensive, slave...how can I tell Mama Tian in the warehouse?" Bai Xian said tremblingly.

Xu Yingzhen looked at Bai Xian with disgust, and said loudly: "If you want to say something else, just say you were careless..."

Then she will definitely pay for it!Bai Xian couldn't bear it anymore, sobbed softly, how could she afford to pay for such an expensive pen.

Xu Manzhen on the side couldn't bear to see it, it was obviously broken by herself, why did she let her maid take the blame?If she admits that she broke it, in her capacity, Mrs. Tian, ​​who is in charge of the warehouse, will not dare to say anything, but if she lets a maid take the blame...

How could she do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit herself?

"Fourth sister." Xu Shuzhen said, "I still have one here, you can use it. Don't let Bai Xian get scolded."

Xu Shuzhen is used to being a good person.Xu Manzhen curled her lips slightly upon hearing this.

Sure enough, Bai Xian looked at Xu Shuzhen gratefully.Bai Wei found a Langhao pen from her lady's stationery, and handed it to Bai Xian, who thanked her repeatedly.

"I knew that the third sister loved me the most." Xu Yingzhen smiled and lied in Xu Shuzhen's arms, coquettishly to Xu Shuzhen.

Xu Shuzhen and Xu Yingzhen immediately got bored with each other, and they bit their ears, their affectionate appearance made people look sideways.

"Is this intentionally made for Miss to see?" Bai Xin, who had always been careless, noticed something was wrong.The three sisters were together, but the other two were very affectionate, but they threw the other one aside...

what is this?Is it going too far?
"It doesn't matter so much, as long as the lady doesn't care." Jiang Gui gently persuaded Bai Xin.

Last time, Bai Xin was sincere for her, afraid that she would be hungry, so she went to intercede with Miss, Jiang Gui is not ignorant, now when she interacts with Bai Xin, she is more sincere and less calculating.

"Yeah, as long as Miss doesn't care." Bai Xin thought about it, this was so right, so she let go of her aggrieved feelings.

Xu Manzhen was flipping through her piano score while secretly smiling in her heart.If Xu Shuzhen was really kind to Xu Yingzhen, she wouldn't have handled it like this.Xu Yingzhen ran over to trouble her second sister, dropped her pen again, and wanted her maid to take the blame for her, everything was wrong, if she really thought about her, then she should teach her well, what did she do wrong , what should be done correctly.

On the contrary, instead of doing this, Xu Shuzhen took out her own pen so that Xu Yingzhen could use it... It's not helping Xu Yingzhen, it's just clearly hurting her.All the face-saving things were done by Xu Shuzhen, and she also won the heart of Xu Yingzhen's maid...

Only Xu Yingzhen, who is a bit stupid, would really think that Xu Shuzhen, the third sister, really liked her.

It seems that the way these two get along is very interesting. Xu Yingzhen is sincerely considering for Xu Shuzhen, but Xu Shuzhen is just using her!
Maybe, here, something can be done!

When they returned to One Leaf Garden, Xu Manzhen found that there was a person who regarded this as his own yard, and was leisurely sitting on a stone bench among the flowers, drinking tea and sipping tweeds.

"Is the flower blooming well?" Xu Manzhen walked behind him and asked, sitting on the stool next to him.

"Very good, your yard has been well maintained recently." Xu Dahong said with a smile while playing with a delicate Jingdezhen blue and white teacup.

Where does she care!Xu Manzhen laughed it off.It's just that now Bai Xin and Jiang Gui are in charge of the yard, they have put their minds to it, and she doesn't need to mention many things at all, so the two of them can do well.

Bai Xin may not be smart enough, but she is very organized in doing things, it is enough for her to be a big maid, and she has a lot of credit for being organized in the yard.

Xu Manzhen felt that if Jiang Gui could be regarded as a strategist, then Bai Xin could be regarded as a military advisor.Counselors make suggestions, military divisions, army horses, food and grass.

Which is more important, Xu Manzhen can't tell, two kinds of talents are indispensable.Just like Zhang Liang and Xiao He, which one of them is more useful to Liu Bang?No one will compare like this.

"I don't know if I don't talk about it. In the end, the people in your yard have grown a lot." Xu Dahong looked around the yard and said, "I used to come to your yard to drink hot tea, but it was very difficult. Yes. But now, not only is the tea served the first time, but the tea I like is actually brewed... Manzhen, you have finally grown up." His eyes were full of emotion, and Xu Manzhen's heart trembled when he saw it.

Oh my god, are you a big brother, how can you look at your own sister with such eyes?

Okay, Xu Dahong definitely doesn't have any other intentions, but who makes him not the right one... Sigh, it's really hard to treat him as a real brother for two people who are obviously unrelated!
Who would have known that such a bloody thing as time travel and rebirth would happen to him!
"Is it due to Yue Ju?" Xu Manzhen smiled.Yue Ju belongs to her elder brother, so it's too easy to know what her elder brother likes, right?

Of course, it is also the case that she has expectations for her own future.

When Xu Dahong heard this, he smiled slightly, and asked, "Did you take Yueju into the room? How is she doing?"

"I think she did a good job." Xu Manzhen said, "Look at how sensible she is today, and she knows how to brew your favorite tea." She used Xu Dahong's own words to block his mouth, but Xu Dahong had no way to do anything.

After thinking for a while, Xu Dahong decided to tell her the matter: "Yueju is mine, you know that? If there is anything, you can trust her to do it. Of course, if she doesn't do well, you can Don't worry about my face, just do whatever you want."

"Then thank you brother." Xu Manzhen was short of manpower, Xu Dahong's words meant that from now on, Yueju was someone she could trust, and Yueju would not violate the premise of Xu Dahong's interests. Be faithful to her.

Although this loyalty was discounted, it was better than nothing.

She also took the opportunity to make her own request. Such a good opportunity is not in vain.Compared with himself having no face in front of Fourth Aunt, Xu Dahong, as the head of the next generation of the Xu family, has a lot of face: "Brother, can you do me a favor?"

"You can tell me something." Xu Dahong said cheerfully.In the end, what Xu Manzhen did was very reliable, which made him feel much better.

"Originally, according to the standard of prostitutes in my yard, there was one first-class maid, three second-class maids, and five third-class maids... But now, Bai Xin is second-class, and Jiang Gui is third-class... Although Yueju let her come into the room, she is still just a rough servant girl, which is very inappropriate..." Xu Manzhen said hesitantly.

Although Xu Dahong hadn't finished speaking, Xu Dahong had already fully understood what Xu Manzhen meant.

In the final analysis, Fourth Aunt really did something very disgraceful.Whose family's first daughter has only a few people under her command?Not to mention the number of big maids, even the rough envoys and wives in the courtyard, the number is far behind.

Xu Manzhen saw that she was growing up, and there were only so few people in the yard, what would she do if she got married in the future?The dowry girls are not enough.

"Brother understands." Xu Dahong agreed straightforwardly, and then asked, "Then do you plan to choose a few from the original people, or choose from outside?"

"Promote the three of Bai Xin and the others first, and then pick people from outside." Xu Manzhen said, "As for the current people in the courtyard, if they have meritorious service, I will be promoted again."

After all, she couldn't even trust these people now, so how dare she promote them and let them into the room?She doesn't think it's safe enough to put it in the yard!
"No problem." Xu Dahong agreed, drank the last sip of tea in the teacup, got up and left.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked worriedly, "How are you preparing for that competition?"

Xu Manzhen smiled.Xu Dahong had been around her for so long, but what he really wanted to ask was this one, right?

It's really wrong to have a brother who cares!
"Don't worry, I'm well prepared." Xu Manzhen said with a smile, "You don't have to worry."

Xu Dahong nodded, but he still wanted to say something, hesitated for a while, and finally gave up, just said: "Come on. If you need anything, remember to go to brother, brother will try his best to help you."

"Then thank you brother first." Xu Manzhen sent him off with a smile.

Back in the room, Xu Manzhen unfolded the painting and looked at it carefully.From time to time, two more strokes are added.

Half a month passed quickly, except for Xu Yingzhen who didn't care at all, Xu Manzhen and Xu Shuzhen's works were all ready, waiting for Xu Shixun's inspection at any time.

Among them, Xu Dahong came twice more, saying that Xu Manzhen had put too much effort into preparing the gift, and he had to make up for it.

Xu Manzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she didn't know that Xu Dahong was obviously just a young man, how could he be like an old woman who was particular about making up for her.
