On the first day of April, Fu You entered the palace early to participate in the palace examination.

Both Qiao and the third wife went to the room and talked with Lin.

The elders imagined Fu You's future in the house. In the courtyard, the three little girls Fu Bao, Fu Xuan and Fu Mi sat under the tree to tease Dalang. Dalang was shaking when walking. Of course, among the three aunts, they liked their dear aunt the most. After they walked enough, they swayed back to Fu Bao, and threw themselves on her lap. They sighed like they were tired. They were very cute.

Fu Xuan liked this nephew very much, but she looked at the intimacy between Dalang and Fu Bao. She suddenly wanted to go to her two sisters to see her. Yuanyuan was a month older than Dalang and just learned to call her aunt. It was the most painful time. Brother Wang didn't like to let her hug her, but it was interesting to make her tease her like this. Didn't her mother bully her like this?

Fu Mi sat silently on the side, not talking like before.

No one told her. Fu Xuan had long ignored her because Fu Mi knelt down and begged her mother to adopt her as an adoptive brother, and she didn't even feel polite in public. When she saw the third wife, she would call her aunt. When she saw Fu Mi, she was like she didn't see this person. Fu Bao also hated Fu Mi. Before, she just thought she was dull and bored and the two couldn't play together. Later, she blamed Fu Mi for adopting her brother to the third room.

The third lady was sitting in the seat and could see the situation outside and sighed secretly.

If the adoption happens, if the daughter is sweet-mouthed and aggrieved her with her two sisters, Fu Bao is careless and Fu Xuan is sensible and wise. Even if she has grudges in her heart, she will forgive her on the surface. But her daughter is just as dull as she doesn't care about her, and she will not speak. She is already in a disadvantage. Are you still waiting for Fu Bao and Fu Xuan to take the initiative to please her?

The third lady was so worried that she was almost growing white. With such a personality, which noble family would like to ask her to be her daughter-in-law?

When he was out of sight, a little maid walked in and whispered a few words in Lin's ear. Lin nodded and smiled: "It's rare that the old lady is in a good mood. Go and tell the girls and let them see the fun."

The little maid said "ah" and turned around and left.

Qiao asked curiously: "What's the fun?"

Lin replied: "The previous one, Shaotang, was painting in the garden. After the old lady heard about it, she asked Shaotang to come and paint a portrait for her today."

Qiao sneered in her heart. It took the old lady a year to raise her crooked eyes and mouth, but she looked dry and lost her rosy face. She was still in the mood to paint herself? I don’t know what she was thinking.

When Fu Bao heard about it in the garden, he immediately thought of Shen Qing, stood up, picked up his nephew and walked into the house and handed it to Qin Yunyue. After going out, he pulled Fu Xuan out and walked out: "Sixth sister, let's go and take a look, I don't know that his painting skills are so good that they can catch the old lady's eyes!"

Fu Xuan didn't want to go at all, but unfortunately he was not as strong as Fu Bao, so he had no choice but to persuade: "Let me go, I'll leave myself."

Fu Bao realized his incompetence and quickly let go of his hand. He slowed down and complained to Fu Xuan angrily: "He has never painted it for me. Now he painted it for the old lady, so is the old lady. She didn't like her cousin before, so why did she think of him today? That Shen Qing must be there!"

Her elder sister Fu Ning got married when she was still young. Later, when the second wife came to Beijing, Fu Bao told Fu Rong about any worries. When Fu Rong got married, Fu Bao kept it in his mind. When he went to Prince Su's mansion to meet Fu Rong, he said enough at once, but he really couldn't hold it in. For example, now, she could only complain to the female nerd Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan was not interested in Fu Bao and Lin Shaotang's affairs, not to mention that she was so jealous of being so stormy. She didn't know how to persuade her, so she listened silently.

Fu Bao was so angry that he stamped his feet. When she saw Chen Qing standing beside Lin Shaotang and smiling Yingying didn't know what she was saying, she became even more jealous and left Fu Xuan and ran over quickly. Fu Xuan wanted to stop in place and wait for Fu Bao to come back after reviewing the person, but just looked at the old lady sitting in the peony flowers. Thinking of the good things Chen Qing had done, Fu Xuan was worried and chased after him again.

"Lin Shaotang, you are really leisurely today!" Fu Bao shouted loudly.

Hearing the obviously angry voice of his lover, Lin Shaotang suddenly raised his heart, and he didn't bother to put down his brush, and hurriedly turned around to explain to Fu Bao: "Abao, the old lady asked me to paint for her, I..."

"Then why did she stand by your side?" Fu Bao had long stopped seeing the old lady who had suffered a stroke. He just thought there was no old lady there, and pointed at Chen Qing and asked Lin Shaotang: "The last time you two met here, and got together again today. Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Lin Shaotang did not forget.

He promised Fu Bao would never talk to Chen Qing again, but the old lady invited him to invite him. He had rejected the old lady once. It was really disrespectful to refuse again this time, so he had to come and paint for him. Follow Chen Qing to see his paintings, but he didn't talk to him. He kept laughing and joking about the old lady. He couldn't tell her to retreat, right?

The old lady was behind her. Lin Shaotang couldn't be too close to Fu Bao in front of the elders or Chen Qing and Fu Xuan, and looked at her begging: "Bao, don't make trouble, I'll explain to you again when I look back, can you do it?"

Before Fu Bao could speak, Chen Qing frowned and said, "What does the fourth sister mean? I came over that day to pick peonies for my grandmother. When I saw Cousin Tang painting here, I was afraid of disturbing him, so I left without saying a word to him. I turned around and mentioned to my grandmother. That's why I invited you today. Cousin Tang and I kept polite everywhere, and asked the fourth sister to be careful in the future. This is at home, they are all their own family. When I get outside, if the fourth sister accuses me like this, I can only prove my innocence by death."

Regarding the woman's innocence, Fu Bao's words were too much. Once Chen Qing felt wronged and complained to Fu Pinchuan, Fu Bao would definitely be scolded. Lin Shaotang was anxious to apologize to Chen Qing for Fu Bao: "Miss Cousin, this is not what Abao means, don't get me wrong."

Chen Qing took a few steps back and pointed to the fish bucket next to the easel and said, "I wanted to help my grandmother relax, but I didn't expect it to make my fourth sister unhappy. I'll send my grandmother back now. Don't forget to bring the fish bucket with me when cousin Tang left and say goodbye." After that, he turned around and pushed the old lady.

Lin Shaotang quickly went to apologize to the old lady.

Fu Bao looked at his back, then looked at the fish bucket over there, bit his lip, turned his head and ran away.

After Lin Shaotang coaxed the old lady, he turned around and saw that his lover ran away. He looked clearly crying and had a headache. He wanted to chase after him, but he was afraid that the maids would see Fu Bao's reputation ruined.

Seeing Fu Bao running away dejectedly, Lin Shaotang turned around and realized that Fu Xuan had not left yet. He was happy and asked Fu Xuan for help a few steps: "Sixth sister, I and my cousin are really nothing. Can you explain it to A Bao for me?"

Fu Xuan said lightly: "Does Cousin Lin think that the cousin's words to scold the fourth sister make sense? Is it because the fourth sister makes unreasonable?"

Lin Shaotang was stunned.

Fu Xuan sneered: "I wonder if Cousin Lin has read Cao Zijian's "The Journey of a Gentleman"?"

Of course Lin Shaotang read it, and he understood Fu Xuan’s meaning in a flash. His face changed, "But I..."

Fu Xuan raised his hand and interrupted him: "A gentleman is not careful and will not be suspicious. Just now, Cousin Lin and his cousin picked up a pen and painted the other, and the other smiled beside him, which was no different from the plum tree under the melon field. I, an outsider, still doubted me when I saw it, let alone the Fourth Sister. Cousin Lin knew her thoughts better than me. The Fourth Sister was impulsive and said, "If Cousin Lin really didn't want the Fourth Sister to make such a mistake again, please reflect on yourself."

He glanced at the fish bucket meaningfully and left gracefully.

Lin Shaotang was frozen in place.

Chen Qing is right, Fu Bao is right, he...

"Qianli, did I do something wrong?" He asked Changsui beside him in a daze.

Qianli scratched his head: "I don't think the young master did something wrong, but since the fourth girl doesn't like you and your cousin, the old lady will ask you again in the future, and the young master will refuse, don't worry about that. The old lady is really strange, why did she suddenly get close to the young master?"

Lin Shaotang understood the old lady a little bit.

All three grandchildren are busy, and no one of the granddaughters likes her. No matter how much he likes Fu Bao, he has to say about Fu Bao's attitude towards the old lady...

But now is not the time to think about those things? Fu Bao was angry with him again.

Lin Shaotang was most afraid that Fu Bao would be angry, so he asked Qianli to hand over one note after another, but all of them were rejected.

Fu Bao was full of grievances and didn't want to tell his mother. He was lazy to tell Fu Xuan that he would go to Prince Su's mansion to find Fu Rong.

Fu Rong felt a little sad when he heard this.

Chen Qing married Lin Shaotang in June in her previous life, and now it is April. It is conceivable that Chen Qing has taken action, and provoking the relationship between Fu Bao and Lin Shaotang is the first step.

In fact, Fu Rong looked down on Lin Shaotang a little. If he really likes Fu Bao, he should take the initiative to stay away from the women next to him. Like his father, Xu Yan and Xu Jin, no matter whether they look gentle or cold, if a woman looks to them, they will not leave any kindness to each other. Fu Rong remembers that when he was a child, his father took her out, and there was a romantic widow who deliberately came up. Before he arrived, he was driven away by his father.

But besides Lin Shaotang, who else can Fu Bao marry?

Fu Rong has never experienced the love between childhood sweethearts, and I don’t know how deep it is, but she remembers the fate of Fu Bao in her previous life. When Lin Shaotang married someone else, would Fu Pinchuan not choose another good family for his daughter? Fu Bao didn’t even want it, and took the initiative to give it to the prince like anger. Perhaps she also wanted to take care of her sister’s orphan. More, she was still injured too deeply, right?

Fu Rong hopes that Fu Bao will live happily all the time, while Lin Shaotang is not yet at the point where he cannot be taught.

"She wants to compete with you for your cousin." Fu Rong said confidently.

Fu Bao was shocked to put the hibiscus cake delivered to his mouth.

Fu Rong simply explained to her: "If Shaotang liked her, she would have liked her a long time ago. It was because Shaotang was wholeheartedly devoted to you that she could not take it openly, so she wanted to start from you and deliberately let you see her intimate appearance with Shaotang. You lost your temper with Shaotang here, and she pretended to comfort Shaotang, which would make you seem more and more unreasonable. She was gentle and generous. After a long time, who would you say Shaotang like?"

Fu Bao was furious: "If he wants to like Chen Qing, just like it, I will like it too!"

"Then who do you want to like?" Fu Rong pinched his son's little hand on the inside of the bed and smiled at the girl with a red face.

Fu Bao stuttered, suddenly curled his lips and buried it on Fu Rong's leg and started crying: "He must have liked her already, so it would be fine if he accompanied her to draw. He had fished together before. If he was not guilty, why didn't he tell me?"

Fu Rong touched her head and said softly: "I don't know that, but Abao, do you just don't believe Shaotang? The love between you two has been childhood sweethearts for so many years, just because you see Chen Qing standing beside him and laughing, you don't believe him? Maybe Shaotang can explain it clearly? Abao, no matter what you see in the future, don't be angry first, listen to his explanation. For example, this time, he can explain it correctly, you believe him, and then tell you that you don't like him and Chen Qing. If he changes, you continue to like him. If he knows that he will do it again, you will ignore him forever."

Fu Bao leaned on his sister's lap, without saying anything, but his crying gradually stopped.

While thinking about the reason, Lanxiang walked in excitedly and congratulated her: "Princess, the fourth girl, and the third young master were captured in Tanhua!"

Fu Bao was overjoyed and jumped up all of a sudden.
