Chapter 017: Frangipani
"Poor mouth!" Zhou Ze scolded with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch her head, but suddenly thought that the person opposite was no longer a little girl, and put his hand down again!
Looking at such a father, Zhou Mingshan hid the last bit of dissatisfaction in her heart!
In this life, as long as she plans properly, that kind of thing should not happen, for the sake of her mother and herself, she should give her father a chance!
After thinking about it, she took the initiative to step forward and pull her father's sleeve, and asked with a smile: "Where did Daddy go to play yesterday, why didn't you bring Fu'er with you?"
"Naughty!" Zhou Ze frowned and reprimanded, "Dad, I'm going to meet friends in Yiwen, how can you go to your daughter's house?"
"What's wrong with my daughter's family, my daughter's family is not a friend who can write and meet, doesn't my father often say that my family's Fu'er is no less than a man in the world?"
Zhou Ze nodded her head with a smile: "I still remember, it was when you were lazy in reading when you were a child, and your father praised you in order to encourage you! I never thought that you were serious! Haha......"
"Dad is lying again!" Zhou Mingshan pretended to be angry and pouted, sat down next to Yuan and leaned against her.
Yuan glared at his father-in-law with disgust, doted on Zhou Mingshan, patted her on the back and quietly comforted her!
Receiving Yuan's gaze, Zhou Ze touched his nose in disdain, and had to promise to take Zhou Mingshan out next time.
Zhou Mingshan turned his head and gave him a smile, and Zhou Ze also smiled.
The family is happy.
Looking at her father and mother who doted on her like this, Zhou Mingshan's nose was sour, and she vowed again to change the ending of her previous life!
Quietly wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes, Zhou Mingshan turned around.
Sisters Zhou Mingling and Zhou Mingqi were sitting far away, leaning against Aunt Luo and whispering.
Zhou Mingling said as she looked back at Zhou Mingshan and them, her eyes were full of envy and jealousy, and there was a hint of hatred!
Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly, her father was indifferent to Aunt Luo, so that he was not very enthusiastic about the Mingling sisters.
Not to mention that they are not born to a mother, they are the same mother, and their parents are also biased, she can't solve this kind of thing, and it is impossible for her to let her father out!
In the next few days, Zhou Mingshan spent her free time practicing calligraphy.
Although her handwriting is not bad, but she hasn't written for so long in her previous life, and she is a little rusty, and now she has to pick it up again, and she has to write more.
When the hands are familiar, she wants to copy the "Lengyan Sutra" for the princess of Xianguo, the last time I heard Mrs. Tai talk about it in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and she wants to worship in front of the Buddha on the ninth day of the next year. Coincidentally, there is such an opportunity, and you can't let it go in vain!
Seeing that Zhou Mingshan was normal, Su Xin's heart slowly let go, but she still didn't dare to relax, so she moved a small pestle and put it in the house when she was free, and accompanied Zhou Mingshan to do needlework.
Zhou Mingshan understood her thoughts and didn't pay attention to her.
Sometimes when I look up while writing, I see the top of Frangipani's black hair, thinking that she suffered with her in her previous life, Zhou Mingshan's heart is a little uplifting, and she will never let Frangipani suffer a little more in this life!
Seeing that Frangipani is about to reach the age of being released, she must take a good check for her, choose a down-to-earth family business, and let her live a safe and happy life!
When the mind is focused, time will pass quickly, and after a while, Zhou Mingshan's eyes are only left with those scriptures that she can recite backwards. It wasn't until her wrist was sore that she stopped, put her pen away, got up, and shook her swollen wrist.
"Girl, warm up with a cup of hot tea!" Frangipani put the tea and snacks that had been prepared on the side of the small table.
Zhou Mingshan glanced at the pile of incense that was still grinding, and said with a smile: "Let's sit down and rest for a while!" After thinking about it, he said: "Go and say something, a few of you on duty have more charcoal pots in the house, and those girls are too, don't freeze on such a cold day!"
Dui Xiang's heart warmed, and he bowed to Zhou Mingshan and withdrew.
The girl has really become different lately, and often takes care of them as subordinates. In the past, those girls complained twice from time to time, but now when it comes to the four girls, who is not complimenting!
This is always a good thing, the girls are getting older day by day, and if they still don't know what is going on as before, they will have to suffer with it! Those who are slaves and maids are always good at master, and good at themselves!
Looking up at the gloomy sky, he wrapped his jacket tightly around the incense, and quickened his pace to walk down to the human room!
In the house, Zhou Mingshan motioned for Frangipani to sit on the kang together.
Frangipani didn't follow at first, but then she couldn't resist Zhou Mingshan, so she sat on the edge of the kang shallowly, and lowered her head a little embarrassed.
Looking at the girl in front of her who had been with her since she was thirteen years old and had been with her for more than three years, and then thinking about the old woman who died tragically in her previous life, the corners of Zhou Mingshan's eyes were slightly wet.
She pondered for a moment and asked, "Su Xin, is there anyone else in your family?"
Su Xin didn't seem to expect Zhou Mingshan to ask about this, and was stunned for a long time before replying: "The slave maid also has a brother and sister-in-law!"
Zhou Mingshan asked again: "Do you want to go out of the frangipani?"
Su Xin's face suddenly turned snow-white, and she bit her bloodless lip and asked, "Don't you want a slave girl?"
Zhou Mingshan was a little surprised, she didn't understand why she reacted so much, waved her hand and said, "No, I just asked if you have any plans to go out?"
Hearing this, Su Xin simply "snapped" and knelt on the ground, burst into tears, bit her lip and choked up: "Girl, don't drive the slave out, what the slave and maid do wrong, whether you scold or beat, please don't drive the slave out!"
Zhou Mingshan held his forehead, I don't know how things became like this!
She quickly helped Frangipani up, handed her a handkerchief again, and whispered a few words of comfort. I wanted to ask, but seeing that her eyes were red and she couldn't stop sobbing, I had to let her go back to rest first.
Zhou Mingshan went to the main room to dine with Yuan, and came back to rest for half an hour before continuing to copy the scriptures.
Until the time of the lantern, Su Xin did not come to wait, Zhou Mingshan called Lu Yun to accompany her and told her to have a good rest.
She speculated privately that it was very likely that there was something unspeakable in Su Xin's house, so she didn't want to go out, so she had such a strong reaction. In that case, I won't mention it, and I'll talk about it later when I have a chance!
After a few days of being idle like this, Zhou Mingshan's heart slowly calmed down, and when she was interested, she would pick up the needle and thread that had barely moved in the past, causing a few people to make fun of her in private.
Zhou Mingshan also ignored it, for her now, these girls who serve are like children, what fun can they have in arguing with them, and they are just a fun thing in their spare time!
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingshan's heart moved, because of her affairs in the past few days, several girls have been worried, and none of them were loose, so she asked Frangipani to take turns to take a day off!
Several people were of course happy to hear such news, and they chattered about where to buy oil and pollen.
Hongyun, in particular, jumped up with excitement, and was reprimanded by Su Xin for two sentences before he relented.
