Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 167 I have something to say

Sometimes, the best enemy is the best friend, and the best friend can be the best enemy."

Hua Lei's words sounded a bit like a tongue twister, but Xiao Yuan still understood them. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally nodded solemnly.

"Sister, I understand. The reason why I worked so hard in the past two months is because he was chasing me. If he wasn't there, I might have slacked off, and my grades might have dropped.

Similarly, he is good at archery, and as long as I recognize my own shortcomings and learn from him, I will become better one day, right? "

Hualei nodded and said, "You are absolutely right. That's why I said that opponents are not there to embarrass us, and we should not hate them. Opponents, if used well, can make us better.

We study so hard not to make others inferior to us, but to make our own life better. Do you understand? "

Xiao Yuan lowered his head and thought for a long time, finally nodded affirmatively, and let go of the obsession in his heart.

Hualei saw Xiaoyuan's eyes finally calm down, patted Xiaoyuan on the shoulder, and stopped talking. The two siblings went about their own business. After a long time, Hualei looked at the sky outside the window. It was almost the end of the hour of Hai, so she urged Xiaoyuan to go back to his room to rest. She also went back to her room.

The next morning, Hua Lei was still lying in her bed. Rong Jin in the Marquis' Mansion had already gotten up. After squatting in the yard for more than half an hour, he changed his clothes, had breakfast, and then

I went to my grandmother's Songheyuan to pay my respects and chat with her.

They arrived at Changfeng Garden where his mother lived. Madam Han hadn't seen her son for ten days. When she saw Rong Jin coming, she happily pulled Rong Jin to sit down.

Han Qingge, who was standing at the side, was wearing a tight-fitting bright red plain crepe satin dress today. After Zhenzhu had given her a bad ear in front of Madam Han last time, Madam Han had paid a lot more attention to her. She no longer dared to customize clothes for her using too many expensive fabrics, and she also bought her fewer jewelry.

However, although the fabric and workmanship of the dress Han Qingge wore today were of a lower grade, the color was still very bright and beautiful.

She no longer had the glittering gold and jade ornaments on her head, but she still wore a set of pearl and silver thread head ornaments, which filled her head. At this moment, she was half-lowering her head with a shy look on her face, as if she was looking but not looking, and she was too shy to say something.

Rong Jin glanced at her stuffed head and was a little worried about her neck. As soon as he sat down at the seat below his mother, he saw Han Qingge had already taken the teacup from Chunhua's hand and handed it to him. He didn't put it down on the tea table, but just held it in front of him.

Rong Jin was not only a little annoyed, but he still said politely, "Cousin, you don't have to be polite. This is my own home. I am a guest. It is not right for a guest to serve tea to the host. It is fine for you to be filial to your mother at ordinary times. Cousin, don't rush to do these little things that the maids do. You will tire yourself out for nothing."

"Qingge, don't be tired. Cousin, please have some tea." Han Qingge held up the teacup and walked forward. Her slightly red face and a pair of watery eyes looked at Rong Jin lovingly. Rong Jin looked at the teacup, then at Han Qingge, and felt a headache.

"Cousin, my elder brother doesn't want to drink, I'll help him drink, I'm thirsty." Zhenzhu inserted a hand from the side, took the teacup from Han Qingge's hand, and drank it all. Then she stuffed the teacup back into Han Qingge's hand, sat down in the position where Rong Jin was sitting without any hesitation, and said.

"Cousin, you are really good at making tea. It smells like orchid and tastes like sweet rain. The temperature of the tea is just right. One degree more would be too hot, and one degree less would be too cold." Pearl praised exaggeratedly.

Madam Han, who was sitting at the head of the table, glared at Zhenzhu and sighed. She was a little disappointed that Han Qingge had used her as an excuse to deduct food from Qihuayuan.

But she was really impeccable to Rong Jin, gentle and considerate, and always went along with him. When a man is tired and suffering outside, he needs someone like this who is considerate and gentle, and who cares about him when he comes back.

But her own son just didn't like her. Thinking that Rong Jin might like other fair-skinned and pretty girls, she asked Zhenzhu to invite several young ladies from aristocratic families who she thought were well-matched and talented to the Marquis' Mansion from time to time in the past year, hoping that Rong Jin would take a look at them.

As a result, every time when he went to Qixia Court to look for someone, the servant either said that Rong Jin had gone out to practice riding and archery, or that he was too busy with his studies in the Imperial College and had gone to the Imperial College to make up his homework. Every time he waited until it was completely dark before returning home, and never showed up in the Marquis' Mansion.

Although I was angry, I thought my son was studying hard and not playing around, so I couldn't say anything. So I was fooled into thinking about the date again and again.

After reading the next tear-jerking song, he couldn't help but hold his swollen head.

"Mom, I have something to tell you." Rong Jin spoke from below.

"Oh, okay, what's the matter? Go ahead and tell me. I'm listening." Madam Han sat up straight. "Zhenzhu, Qingge, you two can go down first." Madam Han said.

"No need, my words are not secret, Zhenzhu and cousin can listen." Rong Jin said.

"Oh, okay, then Qingge, you sit down too." Mrs. Han spoke.

Han Qingge blushed as she sat down opposite Rong Jin and looked up at Rong Jin cautiously. He was wearing a dark black robe that fitted his tall body perfectly, and a bright red jade belt around his waist neutralized the dull feeling brought by the black color.

Around her waist, there was a white jade pendant, which was the finishing touch. It was really beautiful. Han Qingge blushed and lowered her head again.

Pearl on the opposite side felt as if she had eaten a lemon and her teeth were sore.

"Jin'er, what do you want to say?" Mrs. Han asked.

"Mom, I heard that you were not feeling well some time ago, so you hired a doctor and took some medicine. Are you feeling better now?" Rong Jin asked with concern.

"It's fine. It's all thanks to Qingge. She has been taking care of me and serving me tea and water. She didn't sleep well at night because she was with me. She has lost weight during this period."

Madam Han said with a smile that she still hoped Jin'er could accept Qingge. This girl had only a few black spots on her face, and there was nothing wrong with her. So, at this time, she also specifically mentioned Han Qingge.

"Aunt, this is what Qingge should do. My cousin is busy with his studies at the Imperial College and has many other things to do. My sister Zhenzhu is still young. I will help take care of aunt, so that my cousin and sister can feel more at ease."

Han Qingge's words were really clever. Rong Jin was busy and Zhenzhu was young, so she helped take care of Madam Han. It was as if she was saying that her son was busy and her sister-in-law was young, so she, the daughter-in-law, was taking care of her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Han smiled, said nothing, and picked up the teacup.
