Chu Jiapeng had no expression on his face and replied lightly: "A copy of the Shanhai Sutra that I copied by myself."

Chu Jiating praised: "The third sister wrote beautiful small regular script with hairpins and flowers, and I envy others! By the way, I heard that there is a program for Baihua Banquet. Do you think clearly what to perform?"

Yang Lianxin was holding the pink box with rouge. When she heard Chu Jiating ask this, she stopped and said, "I'll play the piano or dance, I can't do anything else." She was not prepared, and the only two things she could take out was the ones.

Chu Jiating looked at Chu Xinyu and asked, "Where are the fifth sister, what are you going to perform?"

Chu Xinyu sat upright and said with a smile: "You really asked me how capable I have. I believe you know better than me. I recite poems and write, and I am not as good as you. But I have learned to play the flute in the past two years. If I really have no choice, I can only choose this."

Chu Jiating said: "Don't be too rude. Playing the flute is also an art. Maybe you can get the best one and bring honor to our Marquis' Mansion."

Chu Xinyu smiled, "I don't think about the best, just don't lose face in the Hou Mansion."

Chu Jiapeng took her words and agreed: "What the fifth sister said is very much, "Sister Six, you recite poems and write right, and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are the best in our mansion. Whether our Marquis' mansion can win glory depends on you."

She heard from her mother yesterday that she had never liked the big house. Apart from going to Anshantang to pay tribute, she rarely interacted with these sisters. In addition, she didn't like socializing very much, so the only one in the mansion who could say a few words to her was the second sister Chu Jiayi.

Now Chu Xinyu, she thought she was becoming more and more interesting. Although she was not present yesterday, according to the description of the eldest sister-in-law's personal maid, the duel was very exciting. For some reason, her grandmother did not indulge Chu Jiaqi this time, which was beyond her expectations.

Today, Chu Jiaqi is the former Chu Xinyu, so she doesn't comment too much about Chu Jiaqi, but now Chu Xinyu's courage and mind make her look at her with admiration.

I heard that she had ridiculed the people in the big room and left. Later, for some reason, the eldest uncle was refuted to take charge of the family and Aunt Wang was also punished. This was the first time in many years that such a thing happened.

My mother didn't like the power of the family, but the eldest uncle always cared about her, afraid that her mother would fight for power with her. On the surface, she respected and praised her second wife very much, but in private she didn't know how many troubles her. Her mother never found an opportunity to slapped her. Now that the opportunity has come, of course she will not let it go.

The sixth sister's words just now were obviously sarcastic to the fifth sister. She knew that the fifth sister had no talent to show, but she still said that. Isn't it a sarcastic situation?

She has only now discovered that the sixth sister is good at pretending, and her mother was punished and seized power, but she smiled at the fifth sister just as well. I don’t know if she is deep or hypocritical? If it were her, she would definitely not have such a good face. Even if she didn’t scold the other party, she would have a distance from now on.

Chu Jiating didn't know what Chu Jiapeng was thinking, but after hearing her words, her face was slightly dark. Unexpectedly, the three sisters, who had always been taciturn, came with Chu Xinyu to mock her.

That's right, the second aunt is in power now because of the fifth sister. Maybe they are united to deal with their mothers. No wonder the second aunt and the eldest sister-in-law both stood on the fifth sister's side yesterday. When the grandmother wanted to refute her mother's rights, none of them pleaded for her mother.

She thought indignantly, and suddenly the carriage swayed and she almost fell forward. Fortunately, Chu Xinyu was quick-eyed and quickly pulled her, but her skirt was not so lucky. It was covered with rouge on Yang Lianxin's hand. For a moment, she really wanted to swing her slap, but she still held it back.

She is not Chu Jiaqi. Her mother said that the orchid in the valley is the most elegant. She has the elegant temperament of reading poetry and books. If she loses her temper casually, it will destroy this temperament.

"Sixth cousin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Yang Lianxin hurriedly apologized and took out the silk silk to help her wipe it.

Chu Jiating grabbed her hand and stopped her and said, "No need for you, I will do it myself."

She felt sorry for her skirt. She chose this for a long time last night before she decided to choose this skirt. Water green is a popular color this year, which is very youthful and suitable for this season.

Chu Xinyu saw the anger flashing in Chu Jiating's eyes, but she didn't dare to make it happen. She could hardly help laughing, and then heard Chu Jiapeng ask the coachman what was going on.

The coachman did not answer, and Chu Xinyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, but saw a gorgeous carriage opposite blocking the intersection in front of him, probably driving from the front, while an old man fell to the ground in front of his carriage, shouting in pain, and people surrounded him one after another, and it seemed that he was hit by a carriage.

At this time, the coachman came back to his senses and said in fear: "Miss, he rushed out by himself. The slave was afraid of hitting him, so he had tightened the rope, but the slave could swear that he really didn't hit him."

He wanted to turn to the street on the left because he was trying to rush in front of the carriage in front. Unexpectedly, an old man suddenly rushed out. He was so scared that he quickly tied the rope. But before he could see clearly, the old man lay on the ground. He could be sure that he had not hit him at all.

Chu Xinyu looked at the distance between the two and the posture of the person being hit. The horse was in front. If it hit him, it would be under the horse's hooves at worst. It would be disabled even if it was not dead. At the very least, it would not fall so far. She doubted whether she would encounter a collision. After all, this kind of thing was not the only thing she had in the past.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw an old woman pushing aside the wall and crawling out, kneeling beside the old man and crying. The onlookers pointed at the carriage in the Hou Mansion, and then looked at the old man and shook his head and sighed.

Chu Jiapeng felt that the atmosphere outside was wrong, and seemed to hear someone crying, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"I've encountered a blackmail." Chu Xinyu was sure. If he really hit him, he would never be like the current situation. She thought about it, so she asked the driver to come over and whispered a few words in his ear.

The coachman nodded, then got out of the car and walked to the old man, possessed himself and whispered: "My fifth girl said, you shouldn't lie so far, you should get closer to show the truth."

He said, pausing deliberately. Sure enough, seeing the old man's eyelids moving, the old woman glanced at him and was about to push him away, but she heard him say to the old man again: "My fifth girl also said, give you two choices, one is that you get up now and say you are fainting, and then the fifth girl will give you ten taels of silver. Don't do such things again in the future, otherwise she will know that she will find someone to break your legs; the other is that you have no injuries at all, and she feels uncomfortable if you want to cheat her and give you silver. She will let the horse kick you a few times, let her see the scars, and give you ten taels of silver as medicine. What kind of result do you want to choose?"

Ten taels of silver? Ordinary families can spend half a year, but the other party only gives him five taels of silver and asks him to hit the carriage in the Hou Zhongyi's mansion. No matter what, they have to hold their carriage and prevent the carriage from continuing to move forward.

The old man looked at it for a while and decided to choose the first one. The other party only asked a slave to contact him, but he didn't know the other party's identity, but the Zhongyi Hou's Mansion was different.

I heard that Miss Chu Wu was arrogant and arrogant two years ago, beating and scolding her servants at will, and was also domineering outside. She pushed Grand Secretary Zhao's daughter into the water. The emperor finally asked her to go home and think about her mistakes, and only fined her father her monthly salary. If she asked the horse to kick her a few times, a small commoner like him who was powerless and powerless would probably only be worthy of being a topic of entertainment for the royal family and nobles after dinner. Who would be willing to avenge her for herself?

Seeing that he agreed, the coachman turned around and ran back to tell Chu Xinyu that Chu Xinyu gave him ten taels of silver, and then whispered to him and gave him a bottle he carried with him.

The coachman nodded, ran over, put the silver into the old woman's hand and said, "Grandma, take this silver, go back and ask a doctor to show the old man. Also, my fifth girl said that this bottle of medicine oil is very useful to comatose people."

After saying that, he opened the lid and approached the old man's nose, and let him sniff it. A pungent smell made the old man sneeze immediately. The people with some eyesight among the onlookers immediately understood what was going on. People with poor eyesight thought this bottle was so magical. Sniffing it would wake up the unconscious person!

The old woman knew that she could not continue to cheat. If it were not forcing her to do so, they would not have gone to the street to blackmail for money. Now the money in her hands is enough to ask the doctor to treat her poor granddaughter. She was very grateful, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times in the direction of Chu Xinyu's carriage, saying, "My old man fainted on the ground because he was in poor health. Thank you for helping the fifth girl. You are such a good person!"

A young man saw him and went up to help her help the old man up. The old man was awake and could no longer pretend. He just got up with the young man's strength and kowtowed to Chu Xinyu's carriage with his wife and thanked him.

"Whose girl is that five girl?" asked curiously.

A middle-aged man in gray clothes replied, "I know the coachman. His aunt and my wife are sisters. He works in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion."

"So it's the fifth girl from the Zhongyi Marquis' Mansion!" The onlookers suddenly realized, but someone came up shortly afterwards, "Huh? Isn't it rumored that she is arrogant and domineering? Why are she so kind today?"

"Maybe they are so kind. Didn't you see that she knew that the old man had snatched her silver, but she didn't expose them and gave them back."

"That's because she is a fool. She knows blackmail but still gives them money. She is already very kind to not beat them up."

"But you can't deny that fools are kind. It is precisely because of this that those bad rumors will spread. If everyone is like you and beat someone up if you don't like you, this is arrogant and domineering."

The man was said to have a silence and could not refute it.

Blocking the gorgeous carriage at the intersection, Lin Huan looked at this scene silently. Unexpectedly, Chu Xinyu would get confused like this, and would think that she would be entangled by the old man in the end and would not be able to go to the Baihua Banquet.

"Did you design this play?" asked the girl sitting beside her. She was born elegant and refined, with her eyes as autumn water, her eyebrows as spring mountains, and her skin as cream. She looked younger than Lin Huan, but she was dressed gorgeously and noblely, and she obviously had a good background.

She is Lin Yu, Princess Mingxi.

Lin Ji, the second daughter of the eldest daughter, who was also in the carriage, was half a year younger than Lin Yu, so she ranked fifth. She was quieter and her only hobby was books. No matter where she went, she would never leave the book. She was just like that. No matter how lively it was outside, what was discussed inside, she did not let her eyes leave the book.

If it were not forbidden, she would not have taken a step forward in the boudoir and would rather stay in her room and join the books.

"It's not me." Lin Huan immediately denied: "Although I don't want to see her at Baihuayan, I never thought of using this method to prevent her from appearing."

She thought to herself that it might be Tong Zhen and Gu Qing'er, because she had said in front of them that she didn't want to see Chu Xinyu at the banquet. These two people were always trying to please her. One wanted to get close to the third brother through her, and the other was in the position of the concubine of Prince Jin.

Although she knew that they were close to their goals and knew that they were having unrealistic dreams, she never said it out because she liked this feeling of being sought after and pleasing to others.

Lin Yu said: "It's not your best, otherwise it will really ruin the reputation of the Duke Rong Guo Mansion. Like the last time you started the birthday party of the Madam Husband, our Duke Rong Guo Mansion has lost face. Go to Prince Chu's Mansion later and don't cause any more trouble."

The day before yesterday, because she heard what she said one-sidedly, she thought Chu Xinyu bullied her. Who was Chu Xinyu? She had heard of it before. Therefore, she went to Princess Zhaoyang to ask her not to give a letter to Chu Xinyu. As a result, she was taught a lesson by Princess Zhaoyang.

Then Princess Zhaoyang told her about the whole story of the birthday party that day, and then she realized that it was her third sister who concealed some things, which made her very embarrassed in front of her friends.

Lin Huan nodded, "I know."

In the mansion, although she is seven months older than Lin Yu, she never felt for her sister in front of her. Instead, Lin Yu is like a man who is born to issue orders. Although she looks delicate, she has the courage to do things, and no one dares to question it.

Lin Yu ordered the coachman to continue driving, and then she asked: "If Chu Xinyu's incident happened to you today, what would you do?"

Lin Huan curled her lips and said with disdain, "Of course I will expose them on the spot, and I won't give them half a penny. If I'm silly, I'll order someone to beat them up before talking about it."

"So don't provoke her in the future, you are not her opponent." Lin Yu looked at her and said, "Don't think she was cheated of money, just think she was a fool, but this is her great place. Have you heard that most people are asking who she is from, and they all think that this girl is kind-hearted."

"Most of the people here are ordinary people. They are simple-minded and only want to see what they see with their naked eyes. Look, this topic will be discussed in the streets and alleys tomorrow. Chu Xinyu spent a few taels of silver to whiten her previous image. If she also got excellent at the Baihua Banquet, then she could basically be considered to be whiten her previous image."

Lin Yu saw the scene just now very clearly. This girl named Chu Xinyu knew how to use the situation and was quite wise. No wonder she was able to fight against the crowd at the last time at the Madam's Life Festival Gala, criticizing them speechlessly. Even the people who even Princess Zhaoyang admired must not be very bad.

Lin Yu knew very well what kind of person his cousin was. If her grandmother hadn't asked her brothers and sisters to be humble and tolerant, harmonious and friendly, she wouldn't really want to care about her cousin's affairs.

Lin Yu looked at Chu Xinyu so arrogantly and made Lin Huan feel a little unhappy. Perhaps it was because of jealousy that she began to get into the corner, and she complained more about Chu Xinyu.

Let’s talk about Chu Xinyu seeing the carriage blocking the intersection driving away in front of him, he ordered the coachman to continue moving forward. She put down the curtain, and Chu Jiating and Yang Lianxin in the car were both staring at her.

Yang Lian couldn't help but say, "Fifth cousin, why are you so stupid? They are clearly blackmailing, why are you giving them silver?" She felt that this cousin seemed quite smart in the past, so why would he be so confused today?

Chu Jiapeng said: "I don't think it's stupid for the fifth sister to do this. Some people only care about the interests in front of them, and they will suffer small losses in order not to suffer big losses."

Chu Xinyu smiled but said nothing.

She didn't think so much at that time, just wanted to solve the problem quickly. Since the problem that could be solved with money was not a problem, and the old man was obviously not a habitual offender, otherwise his legs would not tremble, so she asked the coachman to say that to test him.

Who wants to have hair? Besides, she can become a human again and get the favor of God. She is wearing Chu Xinyu's skin, of course she has to be responsible for correcting her reputation and accumulating more merits for her so that she can devote herself to a good family in the next life and have a happy life.

Chu Jiating didn't say anything, but just looked at Chu Xinyu thoughtfully. She originally had the same opinion as Yang Lianxin, but now when Chu Jiapeng said that, she felt that Chu Xinyu was very cunning. Every time there was a situation, she could get out easily and be praised and loved by others.

At the first time at the Madam Huguo’s Birthday Banquet, she gained the friendship between Yang Qianjun and Princess Zhaoyang.

The second time was in Longhua Temple. My mother said that she had originally designed her to lose her reputation, but she actually met the old lady of Duke E's mansion. There was an old lady who was a certificate for her and planned to protect her to the end.

The third time was just now. Although her actions made people feel stupid, she twisted the blackmail into an old man's coma on the roadside. She gave medicine and charity silver to save people, which was praised by these ordinary people.

If this continues, will her reputation be washed away? Thinking of this, Chu Jiating immediately held her hand tightly as if she was facing a great enemy.
