Rebirth cannon fodder

Chapter 65 Meng House
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Manzhen's mouth.As expected, Xu Shuzhen was determined to kill herself, and she only wanted to harm herself.

"What did Xu Shuzhen say at the time?" Xu Manzhen didn't care much about Xu Yingzhen, it didn't matter what Xu Yingzhen said, her words had limited convincing power.

The important thing is Xu Shuzhen. If Xu Shuzhen's words were vaguely pointed at herself, and Xu Yingzhen confirmed it, then would that old man Xu still have any opinion of herself?
But it doesn't matter, these will be resolved in a moment.

"Miss San said that it was her fault that made Miss... you are angry." Jiang Gui said in a hurry while looking outside the door.Obviously, although she ran all the way here in a hurry, she was not much ahead of Xu Shixun and the others, so she was a little worried, "The master asked what was the matter, and the fourth lady said that you are interested in embroidery, and you want the third lady's embroidery, so It was only when she was looking at the painting that he deliberately bumped into her and splashed ink on the painting."

She is really brave enough!Xu Manzhen was so angry that she laughed instead.Obviously she did it on purpose, now that the upper front teeth hit the lower front teeth, it turned out that she bumped into her by herself, so that she and she accidentally bumped into the ink and muddied the words?
You know, what Xu Shixun fell in love with was her own painting. She lost her mind and wanted to destroy her painting and ask for Xu Shuzhen's embroidery... No one with a little brain would believe this, right?
Why doesn't she talk to Ben, she is simply a great talent!

"Miss, the master is here." Yueju came over and said by the door.

"Well, I see, I'll go to meet you right away." Xu Manzhen was helpless, Jiang Gui came before he could finish speaking.

Xu Manzhen brought the courtyard full of maids and women, big and small, to the gate of the courtyard to meet Xu Shixun, and welcomed him into the house respectfully.

"You've grown a lot lately." Xu Shixun said gratifiedly while carefully looking around the yard.

Hearing his words, Xu Manzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Hearing his tone, it seemed that his attitude was not bad... Maybe he didn't believe Xu Yingzhen's way of confusing black and white?
After all, he himself was there at the time, and he saw everything when it happened.Whether I ran into Xu Yingzhen, even if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I could guess from Xu Yingzhen's attitude at that time.

Now that Xu Yingzhen is like this, she is completely framed.

Xu Manzhen hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully, "Father has praised you absurdly." This is not the era of personalization. When others praise you, you can only show humility.

Her attitude was recognized by Xu Shixun.He nodded slightly, and then said: "The screen frame that Xu Shuzhen made was destroyed...do you know?"

Xu Manzhen was taken aback, Xu Shuzhen's screen shelf was destroyed?how is this possible?Who, who is so boring?
Or, when Xu Shuzhen tried desperately to block herself, she actually made two plans?
When Xu Manzhen thought of Xu Shuzhen's rigorous trap, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.At that time, no matter whether I stayed or not, I was going to fall into her trap.

If I had stayed at that time, Xu Shuzhen would have been arranged to design it, just in front of Xu Shixun, bullying the two younger sisters, and forcing the embroidery...

If she hadn't stayed at that time, then Xu Shuzhen would still have another hand, that is, the screen shelf, someone destroyed it, and then planted it on herself...

The reason is easy to find, that is, I don't want to be ruined when I obviously won, so I want to ruin Xu Shuzhen's gift.

She is really ruthless... But this time, she wants to see how Xu Shuzhen will bring this matter to her own head?
"Father, my daughter doesn't know." Xu Manzhen raised her head, looked into Xu Shixun's eyes very calmly, and said calmly, "Because, my daughter doesn't need to destroy that embroidery at all, because my daughter is sure to win."

When Xu Shixun heard her words, he also became curious: "What can you do? It took half a month to paint that painting of yours. Could it be that now you can redraw that painting within an hour?"

"My daughter can't." Xu Manzhen got up, stepped forward and said, "But, my daughter has something to show my father." She said, reaching out her hand to Bai Xin who was beside her.

Bai Xin hurriedly took out a cloth-covered tube that was exactly the same as in class from the pile of things she was carrying, and handed it to Xu Manzhen.

For some reason, when Xu Shixun saw the paper tube, his mood immediately became suspended.What's in here... He was so expectant that his breath became short of breath.

Xu Manzhen slowly pulled out the tube-shaped cloth bag, and slowly spread the paper tube out with extremely slow movements.

The breathing of everyone in the room stopped following Xu Manzhen's movements.

The picture was manipulated inch by inch, and the content inside was also presented inch by inch in front of everyone—it was exactly the chrysanthemum picture of the hermit that Xu Shixun praised in class today!

The only difference is that there is no ink mark on this painting!A painting that is perfect to the extreme, shocking everyone's vision.

"This...how is this possible!" Xu Shixun saw a large amount of ink splashed on the painting with his own eyes, completely destroying the painting, so he ate it to a large extent, and felt a little unbelievable.

"Today's matter..." Xu Manzhen tilted her head, winked at Bai Xin, and then said flatly, "It's all because Bai Xin was a little confused... My daughter only found out after returning home."

Xu Manzhen narrated that it turned out that Xu Yingzhen insisted on seeing the painting after she rolled it up and put it in a cloth bag in order to frame the painting in time when she returned home.Unexpectedly, Bai Xin made a mistake, she took the wrong painting, and the painting that Xu Yingzhen showed for appreciation turned out to be a draft!

Although the draft was drawn with great care, it was still a bit poor, especially the layering of the distant mountains, which was not a bit worse than the one in front of her.

When she got home, she realized that it was the draft that had been destroyed.

"Really?" Xu Shixun was really excited. At first he thought there was no hope, but who would have thought that there is no way out, and there is another village.Now, the picture he was looking at came back to her.

He stroked the painting lightly, and after a long while, he raised his head and said to Xu Manzhen: "For safety's sake, this painting... is still framed by Daddy, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Dad, for your concern." Xu Manzhen bowed her head and thanked her.

She had known that Xu Shuzhen would try her best in this competition, and Xu Yingzhen had always been Xu Shuzhen's good gun, but they were sisters, so in order to paralyze them, she simply drew a draft that looked almost identical.Sure enough, Xu Yingzhen didn't investigate for a while, and fell into her own trap.At this time, Xu Shuzhen must not know, right?
And the trap that Xu Shuzhen spent so much effort to design, suddenly became a joke.

"Then, Daddy will take you to the Meng Mansion's banquet in the future." Xu Shixun is in a very good mood now, so he pointed his daughter and said, "Meng Mansion's scholarly family has produced many court officials, even now, all of them are here. Those who are officials in the imperial court... When you get there, make good friends with the ladies of their family, and it will definitely benefit your brother a lot in the future."

It's not that simple, is it?Xu Manzhen said from the bottom of her heart.If it was just for Xu Dahong's imperial examination in the future, wouldn't it be a little too early to rush to curry favor now?
Is it Xu Shixun who wants to curry favor with the people of the Meng Mansion and ask for help?
After all, it's still a chore.However, since Xu Shixun attaches so much importance to it, the winner will definitely benefit a lot.Why did Xu Shuzhen in the original play give up on this matter?
Because in the original drama, the gift prepared by Xu Shuzhen won the competition in Fuchu, but winning was a win, but it was destroyed by Xu Manzhen.

It was also this matter that made Xu Shuzhen's position in the mansion even more embarrassing, and even Xu Dahong gradually became indifferent to her.It can be seen that this matter not only plays an important role with Xu Shixun, but also has something to do with Xu Dahong.

But now, all of this has changed with my own efforts. Not to mention that she won the game, she also escaped Xu Shuzhen's frame just now, and her reputation and status in the mansion are also slowly changing...

However, why did Xu Shuzhen not watch Xu Manzhen in the original play?Could it be that she did it on purpose?Xu Manzhen continued to think.

In the original work, this scene felt as if it was sent up to be abused.Could it be...she didn't have much confidence in her gift, instead of taking it to the Meng Mansion to exchange for the illusory friendship of those young ladies, why not use it in the mansion to exchange for her father's disappointment with Xu Manzhen?
According to Xu Shuzhen's character, such a choice is very possible.

One bird in hand is worse than ten birds in the forest.It is Xu Shuzhen's personality to make such a calm choice and find out the best choice for herself in the shortest time.Just like Xu Shuzhen's case this time, she was able to use it to stimulate Xu Manzhen, even though it was already her work that was going to be given away as a gift, trying to make Xu Manzhen make the statement she wanted.

The Meng Mansion...what the hell is going on, why did Xu Shuzhen make such an important choice?

a family of scholars……

It seems that we still have to find Xu Dahong.If he refuses to speak again, kill him!

Sure enough, Xu Dahong's narration proved Xu Manzhen's conjecture that a place like Meng's Mansion is not something you can go if you want.The history of the Meng Mansion is much more glorious than that of the Xu Mansion.After several dynasties, the Meng Mansion has been standing still.

As for the Xu family, following the war a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Xu family made a very speculative and very correct choice, making a war investment.

Then, they won.In return, the Xu Mansion was established in this way.

In the history of more than a hundred years, the Xu family has also produced many officials, and the power of the Xu family in Deyang has also become unprecedentedly strong.

However, this is on the premise that there is no comparison with the Meng Mansion.If compared with the Meng Mansion, then the Xu Mansion is too shallow.The glory of the Xu Mansion lasted for nearly a hundred years, but the glory of the Meng Mansion has gone through several dynasties. It can be said that the emperor's family has been changed, but the number one power in Deyang has always been the Meng Mansion.

Not to mention, the Meng Mansion has always attached great importance to culture, and in each generation, several Jinshi can be admitted.The influence of the DPRK and China is deeply entrenched, far beyond what the Xu family can compare.
