In the early morning of late February, the weather was still overcast.

When the fog did not disperse, the shouting and cheering on the Zhou family's martial arts arena was thick.

All the men of the Zhou family are practicing martial arts and practicing arrows, which is the tradition of the Zhou family and all the generals, and they work hard every day, regardless of rain or shine.

Master Zhou, who is close to knowing the destiny of heaven, is only wearing a short shirt, dancing with a spear in his hand, and Liulang on the opposite side is shirtless, dodging and stabbing with a silver gun in his hand, without fear.

Brothers of all ages were fighting against each other, and in the early spring weather, the shirtless men were sweating profusely.

With a shout, the spear in Liulang's hand flew out, and he took a few steps back, looking unconvinced.

"Rokuro, you're still young." Old Man Zhou smiled and put the spear in his hand on the ground, "But it's not bad, when I'm as old as you, I have to be picked up by your grandfather's gun every time I fall." ”

With the end of the father and son, the other brothers also divided the winners and losers, and after a few rounds of bow and arrow, the morning exercise ended.

The maidservants who were waiting outside the school yard each rushed up to wait for their master to wipe his clothes.

Duliu Lang threw the stone chain a few more times before he came over.

After the men's morning exercise, it was time for the Zhou family to have breakfast, and then Master Zhou and his second son, who had official positions, went to the yamen to order Mao, and the other children dispersed.

"Liulang, you can accompany us to the Puxiu Temple today." A couple of sisters called Liulang and said.

"No, no." Liuliulang replied dryly, "It's the most annoying place to go." ”

"Not really." One of the younger sisters snorted, "If that fool tells you to go, you will." ”

"Actually, the sixth brother is not accompanying her. It's looking at her. I'm afraid she'll run away. Another sister grinned.

"Will she run? Lai is at home and refuses to leave..."

Sisters hip-hop and hip-hop. Suddenly, a busy person interrupted.

"Shhhh One said.

Everyone stopped and watched as the servant woman led a woman to her.

The sisters stopped, and Liulang, who was walking in front, turned to avoid.

The lady of the Chen family followed the servant woman over, and the sisters here did not say hello, and she would not come to greet her. Both sides saw it, but neither seemed to see it.

The little lady of the Wenchen family had little contact with the military general's family, and the sisters of the Zhou family didn't want to get to know each other politely.

"I don't know what Little Lady Chen can say to her." A sister muttered.

"Perhaps, not speaking at all." The other laughed.

Chen Ba Niang entered the courtyard door, the servant woman announced and retreated, she did not wait for anyone to greet her, she went up the steps, stood straight in front of the door of the side room next to her, and the two little maids hurriedly stretched out their hands to open the door.

The side room is a study room with a simple layout, and there are two hot coals to dispel the cold of early spring.

There are two tables on the left and right sides of the room. Next to each of them are pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and there is nothing else.

Chen Shibanniang took off her blouse. Shoes in sandals, step in, kneel down in front of the cases on the left side of you, take a piece of paper and spread it on the tables, press the paperweight stone, and slowly grind the ink sideways.

When she finished working on the ink, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the door was opened again, and first a sock-wearing foot entered, and then the whole person walked in.

didn't speak or say hello, just simply nodded to each other as a greeting, Cheng Jianniang sat down on the other side, and when she finished studying the ink pen, Chen Bainiang had already written a word.

Cheng Jianniang lifted the pen, Chen Bainiang put down the pen in her hand, turned around and watched her every move seriously, holding the pen and moving the pen.

After five words, Cheng Jianniang handed this piece of paper to Chen Banniang, and Chen Shibanniang took it and put it on several cases to copy.

Cheng Jianniang practiced calligraphy by herself, and after a while, she would turn around and look at Chen Ba Niang.

"The arms are too high."

Occasionally, she would say a sentence or two, pointing out Chen Banniang's posture or pen movement.

An hour later, the maidservant will bring in a bowl of water and a bowl of tea outside the door, which means that today's character practice is over.

Chen Bainiang finished drinking a cup of tea and looked at Cheng Jianniang on the side.

"Lady, don't you like tea?" She couldn't help but ask.

Since we met, every time we met, this woman drank water and never drank tea.

"It's not." Cheng Jianniang said, putting down the water cup, "The tea here is not the same as my taste." ”

Chen Banniang was slightly puzzled, and looked down at her tea bowl.

The Zhou family is rich, and the tea cakes purchased by the monks of the Puxiu Temple are very valuable in the capital today, and the water used by the rich people in the capital is the spring water from Luomei Mountain outside the city, adding salt and nutmeg, although the girl craftsmanship of sencha is average, but its taste is very positive.

Not to taste?

Is it because of the difference between the north and the south?

"My family still has tea from Fuzhou, Hangzhou and other places in the south, and I asked people to send it to my mother." She said.

"Thank you, Mrs. Chen." The maidservant smiled, "My lady doesn't eat tea at home, she doesn't like tea today." ”

Don't like today's tea? That like the previous one? Or later?

Chen Bainiang was a little confused when she heard this, picked up the bowl and finished the rest of the tea, put down the tea bowl to thank her, got up to say goodbye, and then it was time for Cheng Jianniang to take a rest.

Hearing that the servant woman was going to go out again, Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly.

"Running out all day and night really disgraced my daughter's family." She said, stretching out her hand to press the sudden sun, as long as she heard this name, she felt uncomfortable in her throat, and the cough that was easily suppressed was about to come up, "If she really likes to live outside, it is better to send it to the house outside, so that everyone will not run to our house with the dead man, and there will be no bad luck." ”

With that, she sat up abruptly at the thought of something.

"Didn't the Chen family give her a house?" She said.

Master Zhou frowned and put down the tea bowl.

"Where did people go to live at the beginning, we didn't let us, how can we get out of Lu now?" He said, "If you love to go out, you can go out, what's the big deal." ”

"How's that going to work? People don't care who she is, they will only say that the daughters of our Zhou family have no way to teach and harm our daughters. Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows and said, "Our daughter still has to get married." ”

"It's not good to get rid of it." Master Zhou said.

"Why doesn't it look good? We don't care, men and women and girls dial seventeen or eighteen to follow the past, and it is not far away, and it will pass when it is said to be in the past," Mrs. Zhou said, "The house has a good location, a good scenery, and it is convenient to go anywhere, and it is rare and comfortable not to be noisy..."

"Wait a minute." Master Zhou interrupted her and asked, "Is she moving in, or are we moving in?" ”

Mrs. Zhou glared at him.

"Let's raise her for a lifetime, isn't hers ours?" She said angrily.

"I know it, I'll think about it." Master Zhou said.

"Where did they go this time?" Mrs. Zhou stopped pressing, turned her head and asked the servant, "Liulang didn't follow, did he?" ”

"Only that girl is gone." The servant woman replied.

"A country girl is running around, and I don't know what I can run out of, so I am careful of being abducted." Mrs. Zhou snorted.

It's better to be abducted, this is what she says, this girl is really annoying.

The maidservant girl let the car stop outside the Puxiu Temple, and she entered the temple gate, walked through the bustling crowd and came out of the back door, stood in front of a house with a familiar way, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

The door opened a crack, and an old man poked his head out, squinting and uttering a cliché that he had obviously become accustomed to.

"The official's name post, please let the villain accept it on his behalf, my lord is now closed to thank guests, and please come back in a few days." He muttered, and before he finished speaking, his tongue was knotted, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Su Xin!" ”

"Uncle Cai." The maidservant shouted crisply.

The old porter slammed the door open, and looked at her in disbelief, looking excited.

The maid is a thing, and it is very common to exchange gifts at will, but after getting along for a long time, there are feelings, and no one dares to criticize the master's decision, but the subordinates will inevitably say a sentence sometimes, I don't know how the plain heart of the road was sent to that person's house, how is it going, Tiannan Haibei, I am afraid that I will not see it in this life.

Unexpectedly, it appeared in front of me.

"Su Xin, you, didn't you escape without it?" The old porter thought of something, his expression sank, and he said while looking behind Su Xin.

There are no cars and horses with them, and a single person comes to the door, which is ......

"Uncle Cai, what are you thinking, I came to the capital early, and today I was entrusted by the lord's family to see if the master is back." The handmaid laughed.

The news quickly spread in, and I had only walked a few steps into the door when I heard a woman's voice coming.

"Suxin!"

A girl rushed from within, looking excited, and tears glistened with tears in her eyes when she opened her mouth.

"It's the lady who is here!" She shouted, "Is the lady here?" (To be continued......)
