Xiaocao glanced sideways at her sister. She didn't know if it was an illusion. It sounded like every word was a compliment, but it didn't seem to be the same thing in essence. It didn't seem like it was meant to be a compliment or an understatement, or something like envy or jealousy. , quite strange.

"What's wrong with Fourth Sister? What do you think I'm going to do?" Wen Renying asked in confusion.

Xiaocao shook his head, "No, let's go." Probably he was overthinking.

While walking, Xiaocao casually asked Wen Renying what Miss Li's masterpieces were.

As soon as Wen Renying opened her mouth, she said several songs in succession, all of which are quite classic and have been passed down through the ages without explanation.

Xiaocao remained silent. Classic? Of course it is a classic. It is something she is familiar with. It is something that has been included in textbooks and has been circulated for hundreds of thousands of years. How can it not be a classic?

After Wen Renying mentioned it, some Xiaocao didn't know, so this Li Ruoshui had either studied it because he liked it, or he was a person engaged in related professions.

However, Xiaocao really felt that it was too shameless to take an important chapter of the ancient literature of a flower grower from another time and space as his own, and to pretend to be a talented woman in this world to gain a good reputation. She had lived relatively smoothly in her past and present lives. I have lived with many people - not many of whom have deep connections - even those who are extremely evil can be forgotten afterward. People like Li Ruoshui who should not be bad in nature can be forgotten. This is the first time that she has such poor senses, and she can't forget it easily. After all, living in this circle, in order to maintain her reputation as a talented woman, Li Ruoshui will inevitably continue her shameless behavior. Every time a "good work" comes out , Xiaocao can't be as ignorant as before, Li Ruoshui's constant "refreshing sense of presence" can probably max out her dislike value.

As for the number one beauty, these people have different aesthetics. Just Xiaocao herself. Many people she met thought they were beautiful, but they didn’t think anyone could be the number one. Is there such a person who can combine all of them? Xiaocao didn't know that people's aesthetics were unified, but although Li Ruoshui was pretty, she was definitely not that good. She could be called number one, probably because of the aura of "talented woman".

In Xiaocao's eyes, she is a fake talented girl, shameless and despicable. Naturally, other aspects are even more compromised.

In terms of talent, an uninformed person cannot deny it no matter how harsh he is. However, in terms of temperament, Xiaocao feels that Li Ruoshui's situation may be a bit subtle. Xiaocao can see through Li Ruoshui's state with a professional eye at a glance. , but the women in the back house should never be underestimated. There are always some particularly powerful ones. Can Li Ruoshui's tricks be hidden from them?

Even if Li Ruoshui's temperament is really similar to Sister Lin, then not everyone likes Sister Lin, right?

If others don't say anything, just hearing someone's voice is definitely more clear than Xiaocao. Although Xiaocao has experienced a lot and met all kinds of people, most of those people are just passers-by to her. There are not many opportunities for her to see through people's hearts.

After Wen Renying came back from rebirth, she deliberately looked for opportunities to get in touch with Li Ruoshui. In her eyes, Li Ruoshui's tricks were not enough.

There may be many men who like Li Ruoshui's style and want to marry her, but their mothers will not like such a daughter-in-law. If a man is talented, the more widely he spreads the word, the better. This woman is talented and spreads it widely. That would be flamboyant, and this kind of woman would make people feel uncomfortable at home, which mothers-in-law especially don't like.

This is really a very ironic thing and also a very helpless thing.

Throughout history, how many of those famous and talented women ended up well?

Wen Renying licked her fingers and couldn't finish it with one hand. Of course, this may be because she didn't read much.

Correspondingly, there are still not many teenage girls, young men and young masters in the entire imperial city, and outstanding young masters of the right age. If many of these people have their thoughts on Li Ruoshui, how can other girls not be jealous?

Even if Xiaocao didn't know much about these twists and turns, she also understood that being too outstanding also meant loneliness.

Just like their mistress, of course, their mistress is a god and enjoys that "solitude" and wishes she could live alone forever. Most people can't reach his level, so they still have to live in smoke and mirrors.

"How popular is Miss Li?" Xiaocao wanted to verify it a little bit.

"A person who is so outstanding that even his peers feel ashamed of himself is being overshadowed, so he naturally hides away. Mr. Li is the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is an upright person.

Members of his Yue family should participate in what they should do and should be trained in what they should do, and they will never be merciful." Wen Renying said with unclear meaning.

Xiaocao understood that Li Ruoshui's popularity was worse than she expected. Her father was such a temperamental person that even his subordinates couldn't please him. Naturally, their girl would not support Li Ruoshui.

"Shangshu Li has no biological brothers, and Deputy Governor Li is also an only son. As for Miss Li, she has six sisters and one brother. The other six girls in the Li family are actually very smart people, but compared to Miss Li,

They are like the fireflies under the bright moon, inconspicuous. She is the third among the sisters, and outsiders always call her Miss Li, not Miss Li San. When others are mentioned, they are often referred to as "Miss Li".

"Miss Li is so different", "They are both born to the same father, how come the difference is so big", etc. Other times, it is as if they don't exist.

I heard that Vice-President Li was very fond of her. Her brother had mediocre qualifications and was a concubine in his twenties. He was not even a scholar. Vice-President Li had very strict requirements on him and asked him to submit to his sister.

When studying and hearing, words like 'idiot', 'elm lump', and 'trash' are often used on the lips.

Mrs. Li was born in the Duke of Xiangguo. The Duke of Xiangguo is also a descendant of the Wu family. The current Duke of Xiangguo is Miss Li’s maternal grandfather. He only resigned from the post of left governor (zhengyipin) of the Chinese Army three years ago. His uncle is currently the Chinese Army.

It was only a matter of time before he was promoted to the governor as a governor (from the first rank), his brother-in-law was the commander of the local guards (from the third rank), and most of his cousins ​​served in the military, so he had great authority.

Mrs. Li is not a woman who dances with guns and sticks. She can only be regarded as an ordinary noblewoman with mediocre talents. Like her second aunt, she only gave birth to three daughters. Perhaps she suffered a disadvantage in her talents and was criticized by others, so she gave birth to a child.

Such an outstanding daughter seems to be completely proud and pampered like jewels. This eldest daughter and the third daughter are not as good as a finger of the last daughter.

For the same reason, Miss Li's status in the Duke of Xiangguo's palace is also very high. Not to mention those elders, even those cousins, they are not forced to study or anything, and they are often told to protect their cousins, so

, they either want to marry Miss Li, or they love Miss Li as their own sister. As for those cousins..." Wen Renying smiled and stopped talking.

Okay, my sisters and cousins ​​have all been offended, and I am truly "alone".

If her background wasn't so tough, she might have been plotted against her many times, and it's unknown whether a talented woman like her still exists.

Speaking of which, Xiaocao had never read any novels in her previous life. Otherwise, after listening to her sister's words, she would probably realize that Li Ruoshui is simply the standard heroine of sweet pet novels. Look at it——

Number one in talent, number one in beauty, prominent family background, favored by many elders, and a string of admirers...

According to this development, there should be another man with a more prominent background, excellent in all aspects, defeating many love rivals, marrying her in a grand wedding, and then treating other women as nothing, doting on her in all kinds of ways.

Pampering, if you want the stars rather than the moon, you will have sons and daughters to pamper you in the future. She doesn't have to do anything, just be a silly and sweet person to be pampered.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether Li Ruoshui will be like this in the future.

Fortunately, Xiaocao didn't know. If he knew, I don't know what his expression would be.

After Xiaocao had finished digesting it, she realized later that her seventh sister knew too much about other people's affairs. Xiaocao looked at Wenrenying with an unknown meaning. This was a little expert in ancient gossip.

?

Wen Renying was confused and touched her face, "Fourth sister, what are you looking at me for? Is there something on my face?"

"No, I just think that Seventh Sister knows quite a lot."

Wen Renying choked in her heart, "Isn't that boring as usual?" Her expression was a little embarrassed, thinking to herself, how could she feel at ease if she didn't know much about Li Ruoshui and Kou Concubine, so naturally she had to inquire deliberately.

You know the messy thing. You know, because she paid too much attention to these two people, her mother even asked about it, and she just used her curiosity about the "wonderful woman" to cover up the past.

Little did Wen Renying know that her fourth sister should be the biggest variable.

Next to the rockery, there was a stone bench among the peonies. Wen Renying looked around. The location was relatively hidden, but the range of vision was quite special. He could see quite wide. Maybe it was because the peonies had not bloomed yet, so there was no one there. "

Fourth sister, how about this place?"

Xiaocao was not so particular and nodded.

A handkerchief was spread on the stone bench, and the two sisters sat down directly.

Wen Renying seemed to have quite a lot of research on flowers and plants, including what varieties of peonies there were, the color and shape of the flowers after they bloomed, etc. He spoke clearly and logically. Xiaocao listened and nodded from time to time, as if he had been taught something.

.

After Wen Renying finished speaking, Xiaocao slowly spoke, with a smile that was a bit mean, "I only know that peony can be eaten."

Wen Renying was immediately shocked. She looked at Xiaocao with some disbelief, and then she felt resentful, "Fourth sister, you are simply burning the harp and boiling the crane. You are so vulgar."

Xiaocao laughed out loud and reached out to rub Wen Renying's hair, "Your fourth sister, I am just a common person."

Wen Renxuan's eyes became even more resentful, but what could she do? This was her fourth sister, so of course she had to follow her lead.

Xiaocao explained to her the benefits of peony. The rhizomes are mainly used as medicine. They are mainly divided into white peony and red peony. The former is cultivated, while the latter is wild. They are processed in different ways. They have the functions of nourishing blood, regulating menstruation, and astringent.

It is known as the "female flower" for its functions of yin and antiperspirant, softening the liver and relieving pain, and calming liver yang. In addition, peony flowers can also be made into scented tea or porridge.

After all, it is for eating.

Wen Renying nodded and realized, "It's really for eating." She just had the words "Sister is right" written on her face.

Xiaocao laughed again and couldn't help but pinch Wen Renying's face again. Although occasionally this girl felt a bit strange to others, most of the time, Xiaocao still thought she was cute.

It should be said that life was indeed good when we returned to Wenren's house, and Xiaocao did have some bad things happen to her from time to time.

Suddenly he heard a slight laugh, "Who?" Wen Renying turned around and asked, looking a little annoyed.

A girl came from behind the rockery. She was wearing a red dress with black embroidery. Most girls wouldn't wear it like this because it would make them look old. However, this girl didn't feel that way. Her waist was tightly tied.

She has a great figure and a smile on her face. She is really bright and flamboyant. "Sorry, sorry, I wasn't eavesdropping on your conversation. I just happened to come over. You were in the middle of talking, so I don't want to disturb you.

I just listened to a few more words, please forgive me, two girls."

The first impression this girl gives people is that she is a cheerful person, and it is difficult for people to dislike her under normal circumstances.

Xiaocao smiled and said, "It's okay, don't mind it." In a place like this, nothing private is said, and it doesn't matter if it falls into other people's ears. They are probably not the only ones who want to hide in peace, anyone can come here.

.

Wen Renying's expression also softened, "Miss Zhen Liu."

Zhen Muyao's smile remained unchanged, with a slight dimple, "Do you recognize me? Which family are you girls from?"

"My father's Minister of Rites, Wen Renying," Wen Renying said.

Zhen Muyao suddenly realized, "The famous nerdy sisters of Wenren." After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and was a little embarrassed, "What about, Mr. Wenren..." She didn't mean to disparage that great talent.

.

"He is just a nerd, it's okay." Wen Renying has really heard a lot about being a nerd. If she said this deliberately with malicious intentions, Wen Renying would probably be angry. Normally, the fourth brother is in her heart.

Just a nerd.

However, it also shows that Wen Renyang is more famous than him, and he has "achieved fame" in advance.

"Can I sit with you? There are too many people today. It's not easy to find a quiet place. Don't move your seats. I'll just sit here." Zhen Muchao was directly opposite.

Sit down on a flat stone.

"Is it easy for Miss Zhen Liu to find a place?" Wen Renying said with a smile.

Zhen Muyao waved his hand, "I don't get along with them, so we reluctantly get together, and everyone will feel uncomfortable, so why bother." Then his eyes fell on Xiaocao, with a smile on his face, "I am also a common person."

So this is the reason why I talked to Xiaocao and the others.
